Italian, Austrian, Dutch and American composers, with selections

last completed work, the motet Ave Verum Corpus, and Il
Signor Bruschino, an early overture by comic opera genius Gioachino
Rossini. From the Romantic Period is Franz von Blon’s march Die
Wacht am Rhein. Suite Provençale, by Dutch composer
Jan Van der Roost, captures the folk music style of southern France.
