Looking for tunes out of print:

"The American Dream", Euphonium solo with band accompaniment by James
Beckel.
It is full of 'Americana' and Patriotic tunes, Euphonium solo in the old
Herbert L. Clarke variations style. It begins with "Take Me Out To The Ball
Game" and goes through about 15 snippets of tunes we all know in a 'Carnival
of Venice' variations style

I sent an MP3 to Beckel of this piece and he said it isn't his, his is not a
variations solo.

Does anyone know who has this piece. The publishers keep coming up with
Beckel's tune of the same title, a popular concert band tune without the
featured solo variations.

I have a copy of the Williamsburg Consort playing this piece with the
euphonium solo but they do not respond to my email.

The other tune is "Sparkling Flutes" - Richard Comello. Publishers said it
is out of print and no reprint scheduled. Would sure like to get a hold of
this piece.

Gary Truesdail, Director
Auburn Concert Band
