North Sea Overture by Ralph Hermann - Concert Band - MS

Ralph Hermann (9 February 1914, Milwaukee, Wisc. – 24 July 1994, Manhasset, N.Y.) was an American pianist and conductor.

He was a skilled pianist, playing with Milwaukee area orchestras as a soloist and with many dance bands, while in high school. He went on to tour with the Tommy Dorsey orchestra. He then served in General Bradley’s 12th Army Orchestra in Germany as a pianist and arranger.

Hermann's post-military career included local and national positions with NBC and ABC where was the music director of the American Broadcasting Company, and the clarinetist under Toscanini with the NBC Orchestra. He won an Emmy Award for his Symphony No. 3, and was staff arranger for National Broadcasting Company. His award-winning compositions include over 60 works for wind band, as well as film scores, radio music, and jazz charts.

This is over-size, spiral-bound copy of the composer's manuscript was a gift from the composer.

Over the next few months, I will continue listing a large number of scores for orchestra, string orchestra, wind band, and chamber ensembles that I collected over my 40-year conducting career. I will also be listing most of the (700+) books on music and musicians. If you are looking for something in particular, it is possible that I have it. Message me with a request, and it it is in my collection, I will add it to my store.
