Mineola Waltz (concert band) John W. Hawd / Arr. Carl Strommen

Originally composed in 1890 by John W. Hawd, this Carl Strommen arrangement was scored for the centennial celebration of the Village of Minneola. The Algonquin term Minneola literally means 'a friendly and pleasant village.' Minneola Waltz is a similarly pleasant work with a familiar-sounding melody and all of the flourish and panache of a distinctive waltz.
