Fantasia on the Dargason (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Holst, Gustav - Story, Michael

Michael Story has skilfully re-scored the finale from Holst's Second Suite in F making the combination of "Dargason Dance" and "Greensleeves" approachable for young band. The key signature is better suited for this level and the variations have been mildly adapted for accessibility. The energy of the original has been retained.Duration: 3:00

Fantasia on the Dargason (Mvt IV from Second Suite in F) (Flexible Ensemble - Score and Parts) - Holst, Gustav - Stanton, Scott

Scott Stanton's arrangement of this classic Gustav Holst band composition now makes Holst's entire Second Suite in F available in the Build-A-Band format. Playable with any instrumentation as long as you have the four main parts covered by the instrument of your choice, the arrangement includes optional piano, guitar, mallet percussion and percussion parts. Now bands with extreme instrumentation problems or groups of very small size can experience performing this staple of the concert band repertoire. A true classic!Duration: 2.45

Fantasia on We Three Kings (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Bullock, Jack

Carols are an important part of the holiday season. While most are very hymn-like, they are revered for their simplicity and the meaning of the occasion. Fantasia On We Three Kings is just such a piece. This stunning arrangement for concert band begins from afar with distant percussion, builds to a rich bold statement of the carol, and then fades once again into the distance. Very moving!Duration: 3:15

FANTASIE BRILLANTE (Trumpet Solo with Intermediate Concert Band) - Hunsberger, Donald

Scored for trumpet soloist Wynton Marsalis, Donald Hunsberger's band accompaniment arrangement of Fantasie Brillante No. 3 in Jean-Baptiste Arban's collection of Fantasias and Variations possesses a breadth of musical styles that demand strict formal analysis in addition to interpretative and technical requirements. The opening section features a flowing melodic passage followed by a technical passage with a return to the style of the opening melody. The theme is then stated which leads into three variations that employ variants in triplet groupings, quadruple 16th-note groupings, and finally, the ever-present triple tonguing, once again a primary technical resource utilized in this and others of the Fantasias.
