The Little Engine That Could

“Move over Peter and the Wolf, here comes The Little Engine!  I’m just so enthusiastic about this piece—a perfect children’s story set to music”
—Max Hobart, Music Director, Wellesley Symphony, former Assistant Concertmaster of the Boston Symphony Orchestra

“It’s great music—a refreshing standby from the old standards.  Kids loved did, grown-ups did too.  It’s a guaranteed hit!”
—Rachel Spiller, President, Cambridge Symphony Orchestra

Casey at the Bat

“Casey at the Bat is a delightful and thoroughly engaging work, superbly written, always interesting, immediately accessible to audience and players alike. I fully enjoyed programming it and am confident that I will revisit it many times. It is a piece that should be widely known. ”
—Mark Latham, former Music Director, Cambridge Symphony Orchestra

“We’re performed Allen Feinstein’s “Casy At The Bat” several times, both indoors and out.  The work is quite playable and very well received by audiences. ENJOY…it’s a terrific, fun piece for all ages!  The music and choreographed action brings drama, humor and life to the saga of Casey.”
—Thomas G. Everett, Director of Bands, Harvard University

“Casey at the Bat is the perfect combination of well-written music and high entertainment value. Our performers and audiences were knocked out by it and we have had many requests for repeat performances.”
—Jeff Leonard, Conductor, Lexington High School Wind Ensemble

Like Riding a Bicycle

“Do you remember the freedom you had as a child to go out and ride your bike?  The wind in your hair?  To go uphill and down?  To meet a friend and ride together?  And finally, to have to go home for supper?  Allen Feinstein’s “Like Riding a Bicycle” is a wonderful tableau of those childhood memories.  The piece includes some fun novelites:  bicycle wheel, bell sounds and several whistlers.  Written as a birthday gift to a friend, the piece is as much fun to listen to as it is to perform.”
—Lawrence Isaacson, former Music Director, Metropolitan Wind Symphony
