Clare Grundman
Clare Grundman was born on May 11,1913 in Cleveland, Ohio. He died on June 15, 1996 in South Salem, New York. He participated in the Shaw High School Band in East Cleveland, where he played clarinet. He also learned to play the saxaphone. Grundman became the assistant director of bands at Ohio State University and taught both orchestration and woodwinds. Three years later, World War II began and Grundman served his country as chief musician in the US Coast Guard band leaving his position at Ohio State as assistant director of bands in 1941. Most of his works are military music, but he also wrote music for musicals. He was inspired by the civil war and the two sides that were fighting each other to create the title of this piece. One side wore blue, and the other wore gray, and this piece is about the civil war, so that was his inspiration for this piece.
Some of his most famous works are:
Kentucky 1800
The Blue and the Gray
The Fantasy on American Sailing Songs
Concord
his Four American Folk Rhapsodies
