Prelude In The Dorian Mode (Chosen Gems For Winds No.2) (Concert Band - Score Only) - Cabezon, Antonio de - Grainger, Percy

Stately, elegant, and stimulating. The Prelude is a master work scored by a master composer. A wonderful piece to learn about how to balance continuously moving lines. It is the 'individualism' of Grainger's carefully notated interpretive artistry that sets this piece apart from other band arrangements.

Prelude No. 4 - Bach, Johann Sebastian

It is the first of the Bach Keyboard works to be transcribed in terms of the modern wind ensemble/concert band, and represents another high point in making available to wind players some of the greatest of Bach's music originally conveived for other media

Prelude on an Irish Folk Tune (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sparke, Philip

The Irish folk tune, which appears towards the end of the piece, is Slane, a hymn tune version of the much older folk melody The Banks of the Bann. In Prelude on an Irish Folk Tune, fragments of the folk tune hint at what is to come later in the piece, but another folk-like tune is predominant. This later acts as a descant to Slane when it finally appears. Add a little Sparke sparkle to any concert with this lovely interlude.Duration: 4:00
