Scott Joplin, composer
Gunther Schuller, arranger
Gunther Schuller’s writing, compositions, and performances as a horn
player and conductor in the field of jazz are widely known. In 1972, he
presented the New England Conservatory Ragtime Ensemble at a Festival of
American Music premiering his reorchestrations of works by Scott Joplin.
They were subsequently recorded by the same group, receiving a Grammy Award
in 1973, and have been credited with sparking the popular ragtime revival
that followed.
Combination March was scored for band by Schuller from Joplin’s
original work.
