I need ideas for music that is written by EUROPEAN composers in the early 1900s or late 1800s. I am doing a comparison type thing and as of now I have Sousa's Black Horse Troop, which was written in 1924. I want to find another song (by a european composer) from the same time period, and then another American song and european song. I was thinking about Charles Ives' Variations on America or something for the American one. But I need more ideas for European music. If possible, songs that would be written for a symphonic band as well. ANY ideas would be helpful though.
