Entry March of the Boyars - By Johann Halvorsen / arr. Frederick Fennell

This is a new edition of Entry March of the Boyars for which Frederick Fennel has provided a contemporary overview of Halvorsen's distinguished and musical contribution to concert march repertory. Prepared from the primary source, the orchestral score of 1895, there is careful musical reconsideration of the entire score, including a full set of percussion parts and music for the low clarinets. The Fennell edition replaces that by Clifford Barnes previously published by Ludwig Music. The Boyars were Russian aristocrats, also a privileged class in Romania. A great recording of this classic work is available through Ludwig Music on Brain CD, 32997503.
