Rubies (After Thelonious Monk’s “Ruby, My Dear”)
Composer John Harbison writes: “Rubies is a version of Thelonious Monk’s Ruby, My Dear, which he composed while still in his teens. When I was invited by the Seattle Symphony to make a short piece reflecting my first musical passions, my thoughts were of Bach and Monk. Since I had recently made some Bach-like chorale preludes, I chose to make a version of Monk’s tune, first in a chamber-musical, contrapuntal manner, then in the grand orchestral style I had always heard lurking there.” Dur: 5:30(Recorded live by the Rutgers Symphony Band – Peter Stanley Martin, guest conductor)

Russian Christmas Music
The theme carefully explored by Alfred Reed in this repertoire standard is “Carol of the Little Russian Children” which is an ancient Russian Christmas carol. You can hear four distinct sections originally called “Children’s Carol,” “Antiphonal Chant,” “Village Song” and “Cathedral Chorus” all joined in this continuous contemporary setting. The almost overwhelming sound picture with varied tone colors and brilliant brass choir sounds is a classic in every sense. “Russian Christmas Music” by Alfred Reed is a worthy addition to the Belwin Classic Band series. This recording compliments of the United States Air Force Band, Col. Lowell Graham, conductor.SKU: ALFXB219 -
