Warren Barker (1923-2006) was born in Oakland, California and studied music at UCLA. During World War II, he served in the US Army Air Forces, where he coordinated a 28-piece band. As a civilian after the war, he enjoyed a 25-year career as an arranger and composer for several Hollywood studios. Notably, he spent seven years as the composer and conductor for the popular television series Bewitched. After taking early retirement in 1971, he slowly made his way into the realm of concert music, building a catalog of band and orchestra works that were often commissioned by prestigious ensembles. He also frequently appeared as a guest conductor and clinician. See more about him at Wikipedia, C. L. Barnhouse, IMDb, and the Wind Repertory Project.

Barker wrote A Galop to End All Galops in 1977. With a fast tempo and impressive-sounding passages for almost every instrument, it lives up to its boastful name, especially considering its intent as a young band piece. Here it is in performance:
