AMERICAN WONDERS is a set of lyrical symphonic band works created by Edward Knight in collaboration with music educator Michael Raiber, inspired by episodes from American history. These cross-curricular pieces focus on specific areas of musical growth in individual musicianship and ensemble experience. Each piece has unique features that offer musicians and teachers learning experiences beyond typical repertoire for bands at these performance levels.
