£68.00Wedding March (from A Midsummer Night's Dream) (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Mendelssohn, Felix - De Meij, Johan
Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy (1809 - 1847) composed the music for William Shakespeare's play A Midsummer Night's Dream at two different times. In 1826, at the age of 16, he wrote a concert overture (Op. 21). Sixteen years later, in 1842, he composed the incidental music (opus 61) for King Frederick William IV of Prussia, in which he incorporated the existing overture. The overture premiered in Stettin (then in Prussia, now Szczecin, Poland) on February 20, 1827, conducted by Carl Loewe. Mendelssohn had to travel 80 miles through a raging snowstorm to get to the concert, which became his first public appearance. The interlude between the 4th and 5th acts of the incidental music is the famous Wedding March, Mendelssohn's most popular and most performed work. Duration: 4.30

£64.95March (from Third Suite) (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Jager, Robert - Wagner, Douglas E.

It is a delight to finally offer this distinguished and time-honoured band classic in a practical arrangement with younger players in mind. Although the diminished technical demands at this level have dictated some specific and broad changes, the original style, intent and musical colour of the work have been maintained.Duration: 2.30
