This enduring perennial – one of a pair of Bennett works popularized by Frederick Fennell’s influential Eastman Wind Ensemble – is at last available in a Deluxe Edition including full score. Celebrating the golden anniversary of the work’s 1957 premiere, this new publication allows conductors to rehearse with maximum effectiveness and appreciate fully the mastery of Bennett’s scoring technique. Prepared by Bennett biographer George Ferencz, the score includes introductory notes and a complete errata list for the original set of parts. (14:30)
