Pretty noteworthy composition, especially in the United States. (Boy, I'm on a patriotic roll here...). I'm aware of the other Edison Records recording, but we have here a modern recording as opposed to a historical recording. Also, a problematic issue here is that I cannot find the date of the recording. Do we go instead with the date of that the piece was composed?

  • I believe that the U.S. Military Bands tend to cycle things off their webpages after a couple years, so c. 2009 would be a decent estimate of the performance date. For the date it's listed under in the big FS-list, that'd be date of composition, because it's meant to try and roughly classify by era, while not imposing a Western classification scheme on anything non-Western.
By the way, this does mean we want to keep on top of the military stuff; once it's gone, it's going to be very hard to get. A Adam Cuerden (talk) 19:16, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed. I'm trying to get my hands on the Marine Band's performance of Pines of Rome...can't find it anywhere. These things cycle, and once they're gone...they're gone. --haha169 (talk) 02:27, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
