Foster’s Beloved Classic — Arranged for Solo Trumpet and Concert Band by Marc Oliver

Stephen Foster’s My Old Kentucky Home, Good-Night! (1853) is one of the most beloved American songs of the nineteenth century — a tender, nostalgic melody that has touched the hearts of audiences for over 170 years. It was adopted as the official state song of Kentucky in 1928 and is sung to this day at the Kentucky Derby. This edition presents the song in a concert band arrangement by Marc Oliver based on the Goldman band tradition, featuring a solo trumpet part that brings Foster’s timeless melody to life with warmth and lyrical beauty. A deeply moving and universally recognized piece, ideal for any concert or patriotic program.
