Brass, Reeds, and Percussion: March 29, 2025

Variety is the watchword for Brass, Reeds, and Percussion—and this edition is no exception. This edition includes jazz standards, Hungarian marches, a popular song from the 1920s, music from a 20th century movie, and music from a 19th century ballet. This edition also features original classical wind band music: a partita composed by Carl Stamitz, who lived from 1745 to 1801. He was born in Mannheim, Germany, where his father was the leader of the Mannheim court orchestra. As a youth, Carl Stamitz was employed as a violinist in the orchestra, but at the age of 25 began touring Europe as a virtuoso violinist.
