The Pines of the Appian Way

All the shrouded mystery and resplendent grandeur of the fourth movement of Respighi’s masterpiece, Pines of Rome, has been effectively captured in this brilliant arrangement by Douglas E. Wagner for string orchestra and timpani (required). The symphonic poem, “The Pines of the Appian Way” is one of Respighi’s most frequently performed and recorded works and stands as the most popular of all three of his Rome-inspired suites.
