Prelude to Richard III (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Walton, William - Noble, Paul

In 1955, Walton received two honorary doctorates: from the Universities of Cambridge and London. He also composed this Shakespeare film music for Laurence Olivier, Richard III, one of three Shakespearean film scores by Walton. The music in Prelude to Richard III is not duplicated in A Shakespeare Suite from Richard III which follows next in sequence. Each piece is a complement to the other, and would be a perfect pair on a concert program.

Prelude, Opus 28, No. 4 - Chopin, Frederic

One of Frederic Chopin's best known works, Prelude, Op. 28, No. 4, presents emotion-packed performance opportunities for bands at all levels. This new Ed Huckeby transcription for band provides an almost literal translation of Chopin's original work with tremendous musical challenges in both the interpretive and dynamic realms, providing the ensemble an opportunity to explore musical possibilities which might be less attainable in a more technical piece. The recognizable melodic and harmonic structures will make this piece a real "hit" with concert audiences and provides an opportunity to teach the musical styles of the greatest 19th century composer of piano music. Great music!

Prelude: 49th Parallel (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Williams, Vaughan - Noble, Paul

Composed in 1941 for the film 49th Parallel - The Invaders, the drama and depth of the music was intended to influence the United States, which was then neutral, to enter the war. The title relates to the border between the U.S. and Canada. The power, drama, and technical accessibility of this piece should be one that all bands would take great pride in performing.
