Prelude to a Celebration (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sparke, Philip

Prelude to a Celebration is a fantastic way to open any concert in the tradition of great symphonic openers. The work starts with a triumphant yet majestic fanfare from the trumpet section which gives the basis for the whole work. A rollicking and driving faster section follows for the woodwind which leads into a broader trio before the opening fanfare returns to bring the work to a majestic conclusion. Whatever the occasion (or celebration) Prelude to a Celebration is one piece that is sure to have your audience on the edge of their seat and start your performance off in the finest of styles.Duration: 5:15

Celebratory in nature, Prelude to a Pageant includes a famous musical link to The Reading Rota (Sumer is icumen in), a manuscript dating from around 1240, discovered nearby Reading Abbey. This lively tune appears early in the work, after an arresting, rhythmic opening and expressive slower section, and also forms the final climax. Duration: 6.45
