Listening to music you're listening on this program music for a band. Music by Don Gill was program number 12 in the current series being brought to you by the national educational radio network. This week we're on the bandstand again and our program will be devoted to music written for my favorite American musical instrument. The concert band and we'll begin our show with music commissioned by the American school band directors association which had its premiere some years ago under the baton of Donna McGuinness

since its first performance the original title has been changed and the work has also been shortened considerably. We'll hear it in its new form but not yet complete with a new title. But for right now we'll just call it an overture looking for a title. Maybe after you hear it you will think of one and send it to me. And.

YOUNG MAN. Let. Me Explain. Thank you and. Me and.

You. Good luck. You're listening to music by Don Garros and on this program music from Ban what we've just heard was an overture that doesn't have a title yet. Maybe you'd like to suggest one for it. The music we're going to hear next does have a title. It's called the pleasant years and it's the slow movement from my first symphony for band. Horse. Horse.
