Program Notes
Return to the early days of truly American music with this adaptation of the Scott Joplin ragtime piano classic Elite Syncopations. Playful interplay between the brass and woodwinds with tasteful percussion make this arrangement a delight.
- Program Note from publisher
Elite Syncopations is a 1902 ragtime piano composition by American composer Scott Joplin, originally published in 1903 by John Stark & Son. One of his more popular works, it is one of a handful of Joplin's rags for which he recorded a piano roll. The cover of the original sheet music prominently features a well-dressed man and lady sitting on a treble staff, looking down upon a cherub clutching a cymbal in each hand, which reflects plainly the title of the piece.
In 1974, the British Royal Ballet, under director Kenneth MacMillan, created the ballet Elite Syncopations based on tunes by Joplin and other composers of the era.
