American Dances is a three movement suite originally composed for the Boston Pops Brass. Each movement features an American popular music genre. Rag draws upon the ragtime style most often associated with Scott Joplin and the city of New Orleans. This infectious rag will delightfully challenge your wind sections. When programmed with Square (Mvt. 2) and Swing (Mvt. 3), the full American Dances suite is particularly effective in any concert setting.
