Additional info/contents	John Philip Sousas geschmackvolles Arrangement dieses reizenden Percy Grainger Klassikers ist für modernes Blasorchester von Keith Brion und Loras Schissel überarbeitet worden. Es beinhaltet reichhaltige Probe- und Aufführungsnotizen und sogar den Abdruck einer Korrespondenz zwischen Sousa und dem Komponisten, welche interessante Aufschlüsse betreffend den Arrangements von Graingers Musik geben. Handel in the Strand is Percy Grainger's jolly composition based on a variation on Handel's Harmonious Blacksmith. The 'Strand' is a street in the center of London's theater district. Grainger imagines what 'old Handel' might have thought if he strolled down the Strand hearing the sounds of the English music halls. This arrangement by Keith Brion combines elements of the Sousa band setting by Otto Merz with Grainger's 1950 orchestral version for Leopold Stokowski.
