For Make Music Chicago, Windy City Winds will play a “Chicago Music” program, with some historical connections. Here’s what we’re planning to play:
1. American Overture — this is a very up-tempo piece, full of optimism and features our French horns — sounds like a Western movie
2. Second Prelude by George Gershwin — slow and bluesy, not very long, very easy listening
3. Pineapple Poll, last movement — this is from a suite of melodies from Gilbert and Sullivan operettas — it’s fast and fun and very upbeat, in an old fashioned way
4. Belle of Chicago March — written by John Philip Sousa for the Columbian Exposition of 1893, where the Sousa Band was the featured “orchestra”
5. Chicago, Selections from the musical — “All That Jazz” and more, very familiar songs by Kander and Ebb
6. The Red Covered Bridge — a sweet Norman Rockwell sound portrait of Princeton, Illinois written by Illinois composer Robert Sheldon, named after the town’s landmark
7. Take Me Out to the Ballgame — sing-a-long, since the Cubs are hot
8. The National Fame — another Sousa march, written about baseball, Sousa’s favorite sport, written for the commissioner of baseball Judge Kennesee Mountain Landau, who handled the Black Sox scandal of 1919 and “saved baseball” — features a woodblock mimicking the sound of a bat hitting a ball
9. Chicago — That Toddlin’ Town — a jazzy arrangement of the very familiar song
10. America the Beautiful — a lush and inspiring arrangement by Carmen Dragon
