Prelude Act III (Lohengrin) (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Wagner, Richard - Brand, Geoffrey

The?Prelude to Act 3 from 'Lohengrin'?is music of enormous excitement and expectation - marked "very animated" - with brass blazing a powerful call against a tingling triplet figure in support. In Wagner's own words - "awaken the mute lines of this score to bright surrounding life."

Prelude and Firestorm (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Barrett, Roland

Drawing its title from the term firestorm, this original composition opens with a slow and mysterious chorale in 3/4 time, then yields to relentless waves of firestorms, each one building in intensity, then receding, then rising again in a successive series of escalating passages, finally reaching a powerful and emphatic conclusion. Intense!Duration: 3:45

Prelude and Fugue (The Spitfire) (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Walton, William - Noble, Paul

The Prelude and Fugue (The Spitfire) by William Walton, written to accompany the film, The First of the Few, was the film story of the designer of the Spitfire fighter aircraft, R. J. Mitchell. This work was lifted, almost bodily out of the film score: exceptionally (for film music) it needed hardly any modification to turn it into a first-rate concert piece. The prelude, called by Stephen Lloyd one of Walton's finest marches, is the music heard over the opening credit titles in the movie. A central lyrical solo depicts the exhaustion and dying by illness of the aircraft's designer R. J. Mitchell. The fugue is used to describe the making of the Spitfire, and then the patriotic march returns joined with the fugue to mark the completion of the fighter aircraft. The majestic march-like drama of the Prelude is well-suited for graduation and other ceremonial events, and the total piece is a tour de force for contest performance.
