Pavane (Pour Une Infante Defunte)
This hauntingly beautiful piece is one of Maurice Ravel’s most popular piano works. Robert W. Smith’s transcription for winds contrasts a ‘music box’ effect in bells and triangle against the dynamic rise and fall of the winds. Written as a contest/festival/concert work, it will also serve as a warmup chorale. A great teaching piece!SKU: ALBD01096 -

Pavane Pour Une Infante Defunte (Pavanne for a Dead Princess)
Maurice Ravel was only 24 when his piano solo “Pavane Pour une Infante Defunte,” which translated means Pavane for a dead princess, became the rage of the drawing rooms and salons of Paris in 1899, but the work already held the unmistakable stamp of his style. Ravel orchestrated the work in 1910. Jerry Brubaker presents this lovely work in a Concert band setting with all of the lush melodies and harmonies of the original work but with simplified ranges and a comfortable key. A marvelous choice for a truly beautiful piece of impressionistic literature!SKU: AL24764 -

Peer Gynt Suite
Edvard Grieg’s early musical training took place in Germany, but philosophical constraints sent him back to his native Norway, where he began what is now referred to as the Norwegian School.

This sparkling scoring includes Morning Mood, The Death of Ase, Anitra’s Dance, and In The Hall Of The Mountain King. (4:56)
