?The Twentieth CenturyFox Trademark? fanfare was written in 1933 by Alfred Newman, who was the headof Fox's music department (1940 to 1960). By the 1970s, the fanfare (as well asthe Twentieth Century Fox logo) had been phased out of their films. However,George Lucas liked it so much that he insisted it be used for his Star Warsfilms, making the logo and fanfare a staple of the cinematic experience.

John Williams hassaid that Star Wars?s Main Title music was meant to be an extension of thisfanfare, writing it in the same key as Newman?s fanfare and becoming part andparcel of the scores to Star Wars (with Sony including it on each of the soundtracks).

This arrangement is for the UK-style brass band, with alternative parts for horns in F and bass-clef lower brass, and is a great number to open any concert. Here is a recording of the original fanfare from YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoWp1jluo6c.

This bundle of brass ensemble music represents a huge saving on the prices of the individual arrangements, and comprises 5 popular pieces which are ideal for concert purposes. From the quiet, emotional 'Londonderry Air', which has been arranged as per the version featured in the 'Brassed Off' film, to the huge 'Sinfonietta' by Jan�and#269;ek, there is a whole range of music here. Much of it is aimed at advanced players as the level of challenge is high, but they all work incredibly well once rehearsed properly. Three of the arrangements also have parts for percussion included with them as well.

Scores and parts are included for:

* The Great Gate of Kiev (Mussorgsky)
* Promenade (Mussorgsky)
* Londonderry Air (Trad.)
* Chorale Theme from ?Organ Symphony? (Saint-Sa�ns)
* Sinfonietta (Allegretto - Fanfare) (Leo? Jan�and#269;ek)

The All-Night Vigil (Vespers) Op. 37 is an a cappella choral work first performed in 1915. It's fifteen movements consist of Russian Orthodox Church texts. Rachmaninoff had stopped attending church, but he felt compelled to write some of his own chants in the style of the Church, calling them "conscious counterfeits".

The work is enormous, of over one hour of the most beautiful choral writing with Rachmaninoff's patented rich harmonies, melody and polyphony.

Paul Erion has arranged this work for moderately advanced 10-part Brass Ensemble of: 4 Trumpets in C, 2 Horns, 3 Trombones & Tuba.
