Alicia-Miltrix Songbook
|
|
|
?
|
Order Form |
| Features four great melodic themes by Milton Marsh (1) Happy Moments, a jazz waltz which was the first copyrighted song by the Composer; (2) Day Dreams, an exciting Bossa Nova; (3) Smiles (piano arrangement), a ballad which has been recorded on Alicia-Miltrix Records; and (4) A Mellow Feeling, a moderate swing tempo tune that is good pure music.
All of these compositions can be arranged in unison for small and large ensembles. The music is in concert key. Appropriate harmonies and background music may be added at the Band Director’s discretion. This music will always sound good in any setting.

Milton Marsh/Monism
Strata East Records

?
|
Order Form |
| Recorded in New York City, New York and released in 1975, features some of the finest musicians living in the City at the time. All of the compositions were composed and arranged by Milton Marsh and features various Ensembles consisting of 9 - 17 players (with strings). The Vibration Magazine, Cleveland, Ohio spoke of the music in this manner: "Intriguing and complex. It's acoustical content will be appealing to the jazz purists. Monism contributes to the advance of the Black Aesthetic during the late 1970's". |
