The Entertainer - Scott Joplin (Orchestral)

The Entertainer by Scott Joplin

Scott Joplin (between July 1867 and January 1868 April 1, 1917) was an African-American composer and pianist, born near Texarkana, Texas, into the first post-slavery generation. He achieved fame for his unique ragtime compositions, and was dubbed the "King of Ragtime." During his brief career, he wrote forty-four original ragtime pieces, one ragtime ballet, and two operas. One of his first pieces, the "Maple Leaf Rag", became ragtime's first and most influential hit, and remained so for a century.

The best arrangement of The Entertainer I've heard was played on the bells of the Wester Kerk in Enkhuizen one Friday evening a couple of years ago!

Perhaps Joplin's most famous rag, next to the Maple Leaf Rag, and a personal fav of mine, a wonderful arrangement, but by whom I wonder? Would love to know, Thanks.

This is an arrangement consistent with the bands and orchestras of Joplin's day. Rag was a concert-band genre at the turn of the 20th Century A. D.
