Product Description

This composition, by composer, pianist, and musicologist James Siddons, is neither an arrangement nor a medley. Rather, it is a kind of historical re-construction; one that imagines how a typical piano rag of before 1905 would have sounded when performed by a skillful vernacular pianist as a virtuosic improvisation. A Million Buffalo Roam presents Tom Turpin's "Buffalo Rag," "Home On the Range," and the "Star-Spangled Banner" as an extended virtuosic display. It is a representation of a little-documented performance practice. After improvisatory passages on the three themes of "The Buffalo Rag" are heard individually, they are combined with the tunes of "Home On the Range" and the "Star-Spangled Banner," including one passage in which "Home On the Range" and the "Star-Spangled Banner" are played simultaneously, combined with the accompaniment patterns of "Buffalo Rag." This work may be performed as a piano duet, piano duo, or piano ensemble. It is also published as a Conductor's Score, with Primo and Secondo combined in one four-staff system.
