Alexander's Ragtime Band
Berlin, I

Musicians Publications presents Irving Berlin s Alexander s Ragtime Band arranged for woodwind quartet by Bill Holcombe Jr. Scored for flute, oboe, clarinet, and bassoon, this quartet is intermediate-advanced in difficulty.

One of the most popular and influential pieces of the early twentieth century, Alexander s Ragtime Band paved the way for the beginnings of the famous Tin Pan Alley. Berlin was primarily a popular songwriter and whatever was selling was the style of his next composition. Alexander was the name used when people of authority would call a Negro bandleader, thus the name of the song as typical of the Negro jazz band. It is played in the original arrangement published in 1911. - Dr. Karl Koenig
