Old Folksongs From Holland - Kees Schoonenbeek

Old Glory - Les Taylor

Although composed in a traditional march style, Old Glory is much shorter and written with the skills of the beginning band student in mind. Ranges are very limited and rhythms are simple and repetitive. The interlude features the percussion and unison trumpets. There is a short tag based on the familiar strains of America (My Country 'Tis of Thee). Great opener for your spring concert or festival. (1:46)

Old Home Days

Old Home Days - Charles E. Ives

Old Hundredth - Louis Bourgeois

The tune Old Hundredth is one of the best-known melodies in all Christian musical traditions and first appeared in the 1551 psalter "Pseaumes Octante Trois de David", where it is used as a setting for a version of Psalm 134; it is usually attributed to the French composer Louis Bourgeois (c.1510 - c.1560). The melody was then used in 1561 by the Scots clergyman, William Kethe in Sternhold and Hopkins' Psalter for his paraphrase of Psalm 100 - All People that on Earth do Dwell, which is still the most familiar hymn sung to this noble tune. When Tate and Brady's "New Version of the Psalms" was published in 1696, the melody became know as the 'old' version - henceits current title. This arrangement presents three contrasting verses and is effective as a concert piece as well as an instrumental interlude as part of a church service or wedding.
