In the week of a seismic election in the United States, we celebrate the cultural richness of 20th-century America through the vastly contrasting musical worlds of three great composers: Price, Copland and Gershwin.

These composers all had an affinity for brass instruments in their writing, and so the transcriptions of their works – while stretching the brass septet to its technical and musical limits – feel like a natural fit.
