Variations on 'Laudate Dominum'

Composer: Edward GregsonDuration: 15:30Series: Gold TradeWinds Concert Band SeriesGrade/Difficulty: 57Transcriber: Rob WiffinThe theme is a noble hymn tune by Sir Hubert H. Parry, associated with the words O praise ye the Lord. There are seven contrasting variations that will provide much interest to the player as well as the listener, the seventh of which is a fugato which leads into a triumphant finale where the theme is heard for the first time in its completion. This, we feel, will be a significant work for Wind Band as it has been for the brass band movement.
