Naxos has an album in their "American Classics" series called
The 18th Century American Overture - Hewitt - Carr - Reinagle. Today, we are privileged to stream or download
free, if we so desire,
Alexander Reinagle's Occasional Overture from that album. This comes courtesy of YourClassical and perhaps other organizations.
Sometimes it is difficult to decipher information given about the albums and free pieces, but it appears that the whole album is performed by Sinfonia Finlandia Jyvaskyla, with Patrick Gallois doing the conducting.
Naxos has a webpage that is chock-full of additional information about the entire album, located
here. Among the many helpful things that you can find on
that webpage is
a link to reviews of the album.
To either stream or download the
free 7 minute, 40 second MP3 piece, you need to go to
this webpage. You'll see the streaming apparatus and then just a short distance below it a "Direct MP3 download link." Clicking on that will cause the piece to automatically download to your computer.
Being the unsophisticated bumpkin that I am, I had never heard Alexander Reinagle, that I remember. His
Occasional Overture is pleasant (it makes me wonder why he didn't play it more than occasionally. ha). Hope you enjoy it, and happy Thanksgiving to those of you in the U.S.
