In 1942 Glenn Miller voluntarily joined the army and founded the Glenn Miller Army Air Force Band and with his music he kept up the morale of the troops. In December 1944 he boarded an aircraft in England that would never reach its destination (France) - the plane was never found. The patriotic legend of this great composer however lives on in his music. Pennsylvania 6-5000 was one of the greatest successes of his famous band and is as popular today as it was in the 1940s.

In 1942 meldde Glenn Miller zich aan voor het Amerikaanse leger en richtte hij de Glenn Miller Army Air Force Band op. Met zijn muziek hield hij de moraal van de troepen hoog. In december 1944 ging hij in Engeland aan boord van eenvliegtuig dat zijn bestemming (Frankrijk) niet zou bereiken - het toestel werd nooit gevonden. De patriottische legende van zijn persoon leeft echter voort in zijn muziek. Pennsylvania 6-5000 is nog altijd een van de grootstesuccessen van zijn vermaarde orkest.

Das Thema des bekannten Swing-Standards Pennsylvania 6-5000 entstand im Jahr 1940 während eines dreimonatigen Engagements des Glenn-Miller-Orchesters im New Yorker Hotel Pennsylvania. Bei diesem Thema handelte es sich um nichts anderes als die Vertonung der Telefonnummer des Hotels. Kurz nach dem Aufenthalt im Hotel wurde die Aufnahme des Stückes gemacht, das sich bis heute als absoluter Dauerbrenner erwiesen hat. Masato Myokoin arrangierte die flotte Swingnummer für Blasorchester.

En 1942, Glenn Miller se met au service des forces armées américaines et fonde le Glenn Miller Army Air Force Band. Il part pour l’Europe pour apporter un soutien moral aux troupes. Deux ans plus tard, il disparaît mystérieusement en Manche. Il reste pour le public une véritable légende et ses airs les plus célèbres sont dans toutes les mémoires. Pennsylvania 6-5000 reste l’un des plus grands succès de cet orchestre mythique.

Nel 1942, Glenn Miller si mette al servizio delle forze armate americane e fonda la Glenn Miller Air Force Band. Parte per l’Europa per sostenere moralmente le truppe e, due anni dopo, scompare misteriosamente nel Canale della Manica. Glenn Miller resta una vera leggenda e le sue arie sono celebri in tutto il mondo. Pennsylvania 6-5000 è uno dei più grandi successi di questa mitica orchestra.
