Program Notes:

It has been my great honor and pleasure to re-start the UIUC Clarinet Choir this year. While the Harvey Hermann legacy has left us with much in the way of orchestral transcriptions, there was a surprising dearth of traditional Illinois music in his personal collection. This fantasia features Goldman's "Illinois March", T.H. Guild's "Illinois Loyalty", and Alford's "March of the Illini", with the Alma Mater weaving its way through the piece.
