Cajun Folk Songs - "La Belle et It Capitaine" tf "Belle" Frank TicheliComposed as a tribute to the people of the old Cajun folksong culture, the two songs inthis composition are based on original folksongs recorded in 1934 in South Louisianafor the "Archive of Folk Music" in the Library of Congress.

The March from "1941"

Transcribed for Band by Paul Lavender

From the movie "1941." Steven Spielberg's hilarious comedy "1941" featured the lateactor John Belushi as Wild Bill Kelso. Kelso was a crazy, impertinent but lovable AirForce pilot whose antics seemed to require a musical accompaniment that had humorand rhythmic vitality. Mr. Williams described this as "a zanily patriotic march."

Selections from Wicked Music and Lyrics by Steven Schwartz

Arranged by Jay Bocook

The untold story of the witches of Oz. Long before Dorothy, two other girls meet in theland of Oz.

They become friends and grow to becomethe Wicked Witch of the West and Glindathe Good.
