Frederick Fennell, widely acknowledged as the "dean of American band conductors," has freely shared what he called "long-distilled thoughts" about the world's greatest music for band. In this
collection, he covers original scores by Persichetti, Hanson, Schuman and Chance, as well as classic works by Wagner and Holst. Fennell's clear and to-the-point analysis/interpretations are
based on a lifetime of careful research, rehearsals, and professional performances. In this informative work, you will find inspiration for a truly superior presentation of these masterworks
for band. Includes: Divertimento for Band (Persichetti) * Symphony for Band (Persichetti) * Elsa's Procession to the Cathedral (Wagner) * Chorale and Alleluia (Hanson) * George Washington
Bridge (W. Schuman) * A Moorside Suite (Holst) * Variations on a Korean Folk Song (Chance) * I Really Do Love Marches! (Fennell).
