The American composers in this programme range from Stephen Foster -who wrote most of his songs, including Old Folks at Home, nearly a hundred years ago-right up to Gershwin, Groft, and Savino, some of those who are engaged in livening up New York today and the rest of the world the day after. In between is Sousa, who, for popularity, could in his time have given points to most of the others in this programme.
