22

The United States Army Band & Soldiers Chorus at the 38th American Bandmasters Association Convention in March 1972, Arlington, Texas.  As is ABA custom, a variety of distinguished conductors.  In a rarity for an ABA convention recording, the first track on this album is an audio interview by Dr. James Dunlop (nationally famous educator/director of the Penn[sylvania] State [University] Blue Band) of legendary ABA Honorary Life President Glenn Cliffe Bainum (Director of Bands at Northwestern University and noted band composer/arranger/educator).  This interview was recorded only 2 years prior to Bainum's death.  In another rarity, the vinyl labels contain several mispelled conductor names!  The program:
The National Anthem conducted by Dr. James Dunlop
Overture from Il Guarany by Gomes/Clark, conducted by Edgar Thiessen
Finale from Third Symphony (The Organ Symphony) by Saint-Saens/Slocum, conducted by Earl Slocum
The Elder Statesman March by Irons, conducted by Jack Mahan
Corsair Overture by Berlioz/Schuller, conducted by Dr. George Wilson
Symphony X (Big 'D') a tribute to Dallas TX, conducted by the composer Don Gillis
Academic Festival Overture by Brahms/Hindsley, conducted by LtCol William Santelmann
Sinfonietta (ABA-Ostwald Composition Winner) by Robert Jager, conducted by Dr. Manly Whitcomb
A TV Fantasy by Sochinski, conducted by LtCol Hal Gibson
Jubilee by Paul Creston, conducted by Col Samuel Loboda
The Stars & Stripes Forever by Sousa, conducted by LtCol Clifford Hunt

LP vinyl is pristine, probably never played.  Recorded by Crest Records (as Silver Crest) in 4-channel stereo at the University of Texas at Arlington.  The album cover features a custom painting by Florence Mahan, noted Texas artist and wife of longtime ABA Secretary/Treasurer Jack Mahan.  Bottom edges have some splitting from age.
