Celebrate the 100th anniversary of Gustav Holst's Second Suite in F with this incredibly authentic yet amazingly approachable arrangement of the third movement. Your students can now experience the rhythmic vitality and novel anvil sound of one of the most significant works ever composed for wind band. Two endings allow directors to either follow the form of the original work or have a slightly more definitive ending if desired. An arrangement of uncompromising quality that lives up to the artistry of the original!
About FJH Young Band
Appropriate for middle school and smaller high school groups. Second clarinets usually stay below the break. Parts are written with more independence, and instrumentation increases slightly. There is still adequate doubling in the lower voices. Grades 2 - 2.5
