Speaking of Cincinnati Pops - Erich Kunzel premiered my
American Fanfare (at the time for orchestra) - back in 1999. I have since scored it for concert band, and in just two years it has already been played by many service bands, including Wright-Patterson AFB and the West Point Army Band, and recorded by USAF Heritage of America Band and the USAF Band of Liberty. Just this week it was performed by the wonderful Birdville High School Band in Texas.
It can be heard at
James Stephenson compositions for band
I would invite anyone interested in a short, festive and uplifting concert band work to have a listen.
Thank you!
Jim Stephenson
