Madden to band directors and instrumentalists. From his first published work, A Colonial Rhapsody (1958) the compositions of Edward J. Madden have been solid contributions to band musicians and their audiences. Works such as A Colonial Rhapsody, Sinfonia, Marche Symphonique, the evocative Eyes of Saint Agnes and much more are featured on these two CDs. The lone transcription is a complete and most satisfying bandstration of Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun by Claude Debussy. A longtime personal favorite work also appears on Sinfonia; Adagio for Winds (originally published as Fantasia on a Folk Theme). This is simply a beautiful haunting composition that truly showcases the lyric quality of the wind band. These works and many more are available through the composer&#8217;s own company Coach Lane Music Publishing Company. There is plenty of Madden&#8217;s music old and new to choose from and the Washington Winds gives a very solid performance to these works. Very highly recommended.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bandworld.org\/MusiClips\/MC324cityscape.mp3\">Play Recording<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Edward J.
