The Golden Age is a piece written in the carefree style of the music written in North America at the turn of the 20th Century. The concerts in band shells throughout Canada and the United States contained such popular compositional types such as: theme and variations, orchestral transcriptions, waltzes, overtures, rags and marches. This four movement suite takes a typical concert at that time, and puts it all in a single, multi-movement work.
