Storming of El Caney Galop

Storming of El Caney Galop

"The Storming of El Caney" is a descriptive musical work by Russell Alexander. It is frequently performed at a galop tempo, and has been recorded by bands including Merle Evans' Ringling Bros.-Barnum and Bailey circus band and The Washington Winds.

Named after a famous Spanish-American War battle, this work was published in 1903. It is believed that this work originally had a different title, as a manuscript of an entirely different work with this same title is in the archives of Alexander's primary publisher, the C. L. Barnhouse Company.
