Stephen Collins Foster (1826-1864) is often referred to as “the father of American music.” Many of his numerous songs serve as a window into the spirit of America in his day. Others are exquisitely sentimental. Whether or not one approves of the lyrics of his minstrel songs, the enduring beauty and vitality of his melodies cannot be denied.

Like Foster, the arranger of this quintet, Howard J. Buss, was born in Pennsylvania. He now lives in Florida, where the official state song is Foster’s “Old Folks at Home,“ also widely known as “Swanee River.” Buss states, “The State of Florida revised the lyrics of this song in 2008 to take the edge off their minstrel origins, I also believe it was wise to update the words in order to preserve the music. In this instrumental arrangement, the original music is preserved while showcasing it in a more modern musical framework.“

In addition to the six Foster songs in this arrangement, Buss interjects two other well-known melodies. The “First Call” bugle call is woven into the tapestry of Camptown Races” and “The Girl I Left Behind Me” serves as a partner song to “Ring, Ring, the Banjo.”

1. “Old Black Joe” (2’)
2. “Camptown Races” (1’40”)
3. “Beautiful Dreamer”  (2’15”)
4. “Old Folks at Home” also known as “Swanee River” (2’12”)
5. “Ring, Ring the Banjo” – “Oh, Susannah!” (2’41”)

The movements may be played individually or in smaller groupings. The total duration is approximately 11’ without pauses between the movements.

with Piano: Composed for Amy Porter. This dramatic, colorful composition is cast in 2 interconnected movements. The first begins with a mysterious monologue by the flutist and is characterized by brilliant arabesque passages contrasted with subtle shadings of tone through the use of delicate dynamic nuances, tremolos, and flutter tonguing. As the piano enters, the ambience of the music shifts to one of nostalgic lyricism. The exciting second movement is moody, turbulent, and features a dance-like section hugely influenced by jazz and Latin music. Fantasie culminates in a rousing finale with the return of the Latin-infused dance. Learn More
