As many of us know, Super Bowl XLII will be played this Sunday, February 3, 2008 at the University of Phoenix Stadium between the New England Patriots and the New York Giants. The media is quite good at hyping the game, interviewing the players, questioning the coaches and adding to the inevitable frenzy. The Super Bowl actually is the culmination of the football season with the top team from each league competing for the bragging rights, the honors and the riches.
To create a celebratory, fun-loving, sports-oriented atmosphere prior to the game, I have listed some musical works available at the Westport Public Library:
Brown, James. 20 All -Time Hits
Goldman Band. Greatest Band in the Land!
Ives, Charles Yale-Princeton Football Game
Rossini, Gioacchino. La Gazza Ladra Overture
Rossini, Gioacchino. William Tell Overture
Sibelius, Jean. Finlandia
Sousa, John Philip. Sousa
