England vs. Italy
Trevor Bjorklund, director
Join us as we pit two giants of musical culture, England and Italy, against one another.
Our English half will feature the Second Suite for Military Band in F by Gustav Holst, Prelude, Siciliano and Rondo by Malcolm Arnold, Fantasia on Greensleeves by Vaughan Williams, and Music for the Royal Fireworks by Handel. Our Italian offerings will include Vesuvius by Frank Ticheli, The Last Days of Pompeii by Sousa, Funiculi Funicula by Denza, and a pair of hitherto unknown in the United States marches by Nicolino Rosati.
