An outgrowth of NBC's 1952 successful tele-documentary Victory at Sea, was Project 20 two years later: a 30-episode series that was scored completely by Robert Russell Bennett. The episode, called 'Down to the Sea in Ships,' utilized this score that initially aired in December of 1968. The magic of the sea, the beauty of ships, and fascination for the men who sail them, are fully explored in this five-movement epic work that relies heavily on sea shanties and folk material. In regarding the work in Bennett's own words, it 'had a lot to tell us about our struggles, triumphs, and defeats on the mighty ocean.' The movements are titled - 'The Way of the Ship,' 'Mists and Mystery,' 'Songs of the Salty Air,' 'Waltz of the Clipper Ships,' and 'Finale, Introducing the S.S. Eagle March.' This fresh, carefully edited concert band transcription has been extensively researched and will be a cherished addition to serious band literature for generations to come.

Miniature Score of D759 'Unfinished' and D944 'The Great'. Par SCHUBERT FRANZ. The least schooled of the great German musicians, Schubert amply compensated for his lack of formal training with his keen musical intuition and limitless melodic invention. This volume comprises two of his greatest and best-loved orchestral works. Although the Unfinished consists of only two movements, it is one of the composer's most popular compositions, cherished for the quiet intimacy of its emotion and its beautiful melody. Symphony No. 9 composed in the final year of Schubert's life, is his ultimate masterpiece- a vast work with extensive development and great breadth of musical ideas. Both are in full score with original instrumentation. Idealfor study purpose./ Répertoire / Partition de Poche
