Hello! This week's number is The 20th Century Rag, by Maurice Abrahams, published originally in 1914 by Maurice Abrahams Music Co. It is public domain, and the arrangement used in this video is available free of charge at bandmusicpdf.org for anyone wanting to try this with their own band. Ragtime was quite popular in 1914 and this number was probably performed many times by hometown bands who played concerts outdoors in the summertime all over America. Instruments used in this production: first, second, and third cornets, first, second, and third trombones, and baritone, were all performed on my vintage 1912 York euphonium; the tuba part was performed on my vintage Climax Brand American made Eb tuba; percussion parts were covered with two different cowbells and the tambourine. Recording was made using Audacity multi-track recording program. Please enjoy this music, please like, please share, and please subscribe to my channel. Thank you. Brassman Bart
