Program Notes

To my esteemed friend, Col. Wm. F. Cody, "Buffalo Bill."

- Program Note from score


King composed and dedicated to Cody an intermezzo, Passing of the Red Man. Merle Evans, bandmaster of the 1916 show, recalls that Cody liked Passing of the Red Man, and "used to come to the band stand during the concert with the Wild West show and ask me to play it for him."
