Description:
I wrote' Galloping Ghosts (A Ragtime March)' to conclude a concert of my chamber music in New York City on October 28, 1986. It is the final part of a work called 'Rags for Divers Players. 'This work was written to show the variety possible within the standard rag form. I used all the players available for the 'finale' - two violins, viola, cello, bass, flute, oboe, clarinet, horn, bassoon, and piano. Since this is a rather unusual instrumental combination and not easy to reassemble, I decided to rescore the work for concert band. 'Galloping Ghosts' is written in a standard march form but incorporates many of the syncopations found in ragtime.
