Griffes 'Pleasure Dome of Kubla Khan'
This music by Charles T. Griffes was given its world premiere on 28th of November 1919 by Monteux & The Boston Symphony & here it is again by the same conductor but with a different American orchestra 19 years later.
Sousa - 'Stars & Stripes Forever'
For a few years after WW2 many servicemen attended the 'Standard Hour' concerts in San Francisco & what a better way to open it than with this music.
Pierre Monteux, conductor
