Suite of Old American Dances (Selections)

First published in 1950, Robert Russell Bennett's Suite of Old American Dances has established itself as a classic in the repertoire for wind bands. This edition is designed for younger players and features three of the originalfive movements: Western One-Step, Wallflower Rag and Cake Walk. Carefully adapted by James Curnow, these settings offer an important historical perspective for students, as well as enjoyable music for contest or casual concerts.(6:30)
