I think it's the most beautiful concert band piece I've ever heard. |

*red with envy* Wow, Steve, that must have been such a great experience! What instrument were you playing? Also, where and when was the premiere? |

The Great Locomotive chase is an awesome song. Has anyone played The Great Steamboat Race? It has the same feel as locomotive.
But my favorites would have to be Blue Ridge Saga-James Swearingen Festivo-Vaclav Nehybel can't think of any others........ |
