Favorite Original/Orchestral/Vocal/Band Versions of DCI Staple Music Pieces


Recommended Posts

This is for what you think represent great recordings of pieces that have been used widely (okay, maybe even in excess :bored:)in DCI over the years. So like Appalachian Spring, Elsa's Process, West Side Story, etc. 

I'll start. 

There are a gazillion arrangements of "Elsa's Procession" out there, but this is easily my favorite arrangement and recording of it. The President's Own can almost be too pretty/perfect at times, but their low brass really push it at the end of this recording. Stunning, IMO.

Amazing piece, and a great album. HUGE album full of amazing stuff.

Benny Goodman playing his clarinet concerto is a hoot.

I've got the original sealed LP of the clarinet concerto with Goodman. Genius.
