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 -

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

Pico Rivera
Solo claves usher in the authentic Latin percussion section that sets the style for “Pico Rivera.” A simple but effective bass line joins the percussion section in establishing an interesting accompaniment for the syncopated melody that follows. Rich harmonies that utilize a variety of seventh chords dominate the second theme and the “stop time” percussion fills that open the coda. A brief modulation brings us to a restatement of the opening melody with a new countermelody in the trumpets and horns. Pico Rivera is a city in Southern California that has a long tradition of producing excellent bands.SKU: AL36663 -
