Program Notes

Earth, Wind & Fire's horn-driven funk sound has been captured in this arrangement for concert band with rhythm section, which gives it a really authentic feel. Including September; After The Love Has Gone and Fantasy, this dynamic medley offers a really hot, infectious sound.

- Program Note from publisher

Earth, Wind & Fire (abbreviated as EW&F or simply EWF) is an American band that has spanned the musical genres of R&B, soul, funk, jazz, disco, pop, rock, dance, Latin, and Afro pop. They have been described as one of the most innovative and commercially successful acts of all time. Rolling Stone called them "innovative, precise yet sensual, calculated yet galvanizing" and declared that the band "changed the sound of black pop". VH1 has also described EWF as "one of the greatest bands" ever.
