Manhattan Beach Music Fanfare Ode & Festival - Margolis - Concert Band - Gr. 2
Additional Photos:
Composer: Bob Margolis (after Claude Gervaise)
Format: Score and Parts
Instrumentation: Concert Band
Level: 2
Fanfare Ode & Festival is a Grade 2 concert band composition that in no way "writes down" to the abilities of young players. Arranging this music has not been a matter of simplifying and diluting, for Grade 2 players, music that would otherwise be too hard for them, but rather of choosing technically appropriate music and setting it for a full and varied concert band instrumentation. As a result, although within the playing limitations of the musicians, the music is not typical of the Grade 2 genre. It might just as easily be programmed by a high school or college band. Nothing "gives it away" as being simple.
Sample performance by the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Symphony Band, Donald S. George, conductor
