Of Elgar's five Pomp and Circumstance Marches the first in D is the best known as it includes Land of Hope and Glory. The origin of the title of these marches is a speech in Shakespeare's 'Othello':O now for ever/ Farewell the tranquil mind! farewell content!/ Farewell the plumed troops and the big wars/ That makes ambition virtue!/ O farewell!/ Farewell the neighing steed and the shrill trump / The spirit-stirring drum th' ear-piercing fife / The royal banner and all quality / Pride pomp and circumstance of glorious war!This arrangement has been made to make it more accessible to the average orchestra; the instruments marked with an asterisk in the orchestrationlist above may be omitted if necessary.Duration: 6 minutes OrchestrationPiccolo 2 Flutes 2 Oboes 2 Clarinets in A or Bb Bass clarinet* 2 Bassoons 2 Horns in F 2 Trumpets in Bb 3 Trombones Tuba Timpani Percussion (Snare drum Triangle Bass drum Cymbals) Strings (Violin 1 Violin 2 Viola Cello Bass) (* = instruments optional)

Triptyque symphonique (Nuages-Fêtes-Sirènes)-Claude Debussy's Nocturnes for Orchestra. Study score.

Everyone remembers the tune by its subtitle 'Going Home'. This lush song is creatively scored with your intermediate orchestra in mind. Although there appear to be some exposed woodwind passages in this familiar melody they are generously cross-cued so that the work is playable solely with strings and piano. A very warm rendition to be cherished for years to come. (5:35)

Haydn's Symphony Hob. I:89 belongs to a group of symphonies composed between the ?Paris? symphonies (Hob. I:82-87) and their ?London? counterparts (Hob. I: 93-104) the last ones he wrote before his trips to England in 1791-92 and 1794-95.The Symphony in F major is dated 1787 in the autograph score. In this work Haydn borrowed two movements from an earlier piece possibly owing to deadline pressure. The second and fourth movements are arrangements of movements 2 and 3 from his Concerto in F major Hob. VIIh:5 for two ?lire organizzate? and orchestra. The fact that he also arranged movements from his other lire concertos suggests that heregarded them as a sort of musical quarry. This at least allowed him to recycle parts of these works after his patron had probably prohibited him from offering them commercially.This edition continues the collaboration with the Henle publishing company regarding Haydn's large-scale choral works operas and symphonies. It is based on the Henle Complete Edition of the Works of Joseph Haydn. The complete performance material for several Sturm und Drang symphonies and all of the London and Paris symphonies is now available from Bärenreiter.

New Version 1994-Symphony No. 6 was created in the late 1960s and was first performed in Havana on 26. November 1969 by the Cuban National Orchestra under my direction. This symphony reflects not only the excited atmosphere of awakening during those years but also my efforts to include in the composition the large number of new human and artistic stimuli that I experienced at that time. So the banjo starts to play a Vietnamese song of freedom (Stars in the Night) later the first bars of Mikis Theodorakis hymn of freedom is heard.The second movement is based on the poem Fe de erratas (errata sheet) by Miguel Barnet. In the original version the three parts of the symphony merge withoutinterruption. In the revised version I separated them to make it easier for the audience to register the caesuras which are also internal caesuras as regards content. Apart from strengthening the string sound the most significant alternation in comparison to the first version is that I fully composed all of the aleatoric passages and pitches which originally were to be freely improvised as was the fashion at that time. Thus I wanted to free them the realm of chance and indeterminacy and to bring them back into my artistic control.- Hans Werner Henze

This new arrangement from Richard Meyer is fairly challenging but very gratifying. All the textures and concepts of Dvorák's original have been carefully maintained while making the work more accessible to school groups. Scored for strings woodwinds brass in pairs and percussion this transcription is full of charm and style and will make an excellent addition to your full orchestra library. (Grade 3).
