First Suite in E Flat (New Young Edition)

Gustav Holst/adpt. Robert Longfield

Arguably the most important composition in the history of the modern concert band, here for the first time is an edition adapted for contemporary school band instrumentation! Extreme ranges (particularly in the woodwinds) have been eliminated and the brass scored for 3 trumpets, 2 horns, 2 trombones, baritone and tuba. Robert Longfield has painstakingly maintained the integrity, form and character of Holst's work while making it accessible to younger players. Don't miss this opportunity to provide your students the chance to perform a valuable and fulfilling band classic. (Boosey & Hawkes) (10:45)
