Hal Leonard The Hounds of Spring - Longfield - Concert Band - Gr. 3
A Concert Overture for Winds
Composer: Alfred Reed
Arranger: Robert Longfield
Format: Score and Parts
Instrumentation: Concert Band
Level: 3
Alfred Reed (1921-2005) was one of America's most prolific and frequently performed composers. The Hounds of Spring was composed in 1980 and was inspired by the poem "Atalanta in Calydon" by Algernon Charles Swinburne. In this concert overture, Reed captures the elements of youthful exuberance and tenderness of love expressed in the poem. Remaining true in form and intent to the original, Robert Longfield has masterfully shortened and adapted this work for younger bands. Duration: 5:30
