Rag (brass ensemble) Robert W. Smith

Brass ensemble with Percussion
98/RWS Festival Ensemble Series

American Dances is a three movement suite originally composed for the Boston Pops Brass. Each movement features an American popular music genre. This first movement, Rag, draws upon the ragtime style most often associated with Scott Joplin and the city of New Orleans. This work for the brass and percussion ensemble will delightfully challenge your brass section while appealing to audiences in any concert setting.
