Composed for a special July 4th, 1879 orchestral concert conducted by the famed bandmaster and conductor Patrick Gilmore, the 'Festival Overture on the American National Air' was not Dudley Buck's first treatment of the famous melody composed by John Stafford Smith. In 1866 Buch composed the Concert Variations on 'The Star-Spangled Banner' for organ as his Op.23 - published in 1869. The overture became quite popular in the composer's lifetime, often featured in Gilmore's summer concerts held on Coney Island's Manhattan Beach during the 1880s and early 1890s in a band arrangement. It was also a regular in orchestral concerts conducted in both America and in Europe by Frank Van der Stucken - founder of the Cincinnati Symphony.
