The opening work is Festive Music (Morton Gould\/Mark W. Jirousek); the principal trumpet solos are performed by Dr. Barbara Hull. Rift by Julian Tanaka is a nine-minute escapade for band with occasional glimpses into Dmitri Shostakovich, William Schuman and Duke Ellington\u2019s music. One of the hallmark compositions for band is Dies Natalis by Howard Hanson; the performance by the UNLV is unmatched. L\u2019Horloge de Flore (Flower Clock) is Jean Francaix\u2019s masterwork for oboe &amp; orchestra. Dr. Stephen Caplan \u201cblossoms\u201d in this windstration by Ken Watson. 24K Gould concludes with Tam O\u2019Shanter (Malcolm Arnold\/John Paynter); I find this performance and interpretation to be one of the finest. Quite simply, 24K Gould is 24K Gold!!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bandworld.org\/musiclips\/ExcerptfromFestiveMusic.mp3\">Listen to recording<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by\u00a0Morton Gould\/Mark W.
