Iola

(CONCERT BAND, GRADE 2.5) Charles L. Johnson's 1906 piano novelty will be instantly recognizable to your audience as "Playmates" ("Say, Say My Playmate, Come Out And Play With Me"), which composer Saxie Dowell stole note-for-note in 1940 for his big hit recorded by Kay Kyser and others. A top-flight march in its own right and a great piece of American musical history.
