Shenandoah at 2003 National Civil War Band Festival

A short slide show comprised of photographs of the Frontier Brigade Band participating in the 2003 National Civil War Band Festival, set to the band's live Festival recording of "Shenandoah". The 32 member Frontier Brigade Band celebrates the Mid-Nineteenth Century American Brass Band Movement by dressing in authentic uniforms of the period, and by utilizing period and reproduction musical instruments. The band's repertoire encompasses historic musical arrangements from the 1840s through 1916, including original surviving pieces from the Regimental, Brigade, and Civilian band books of the American Civil War era, and music played by Buffalo Bill's Wild West Cowboy Band, 1882-1916.

@hedroncollider There is a 2008 Live Concert recording of this song in the "Magic Lantern" section of our band's website.

[organist121893]

was that a euphonium solo or a saxhorn solo?

[frontierbrigadeband]

On this 2003 recording, we used a euphonium.

The solos are very pretty for it...how quickly is it supposed to go??my band director takes it like half of that speed..then speeds up some..it says 50 at the beginning...a lot slower than you are playing it..

[frontierbrigadeband]

Thank you for your complimentary words. As for the tempo we use for our 19th Century Brass Band (Civil War era) arrangement - we have found that this is a good tempo for us since it is not so fast as to rush the wonderful melody, but also not so slow that the players run out of air by the end of the phrases.

Less is more. A wonderful rendition! Simple, honest and true to its origins. Much better than more ornate or over-sentimental versions.
