Published by Gryphon Music Australia (A0.787451). Franz Schubert's Erlkönig (Erl King) is one of the most terrifying pieces of music to come out of the early 19th Century. It is a song with piano set to a poem by Goethe, depicting a father's desperate ride through the night with his dying son. The son is being taunted by the utterly malevolent Erl King, but the father cannot hear this and tries in vain to keep his son calm. The son's distress increases as the Erl King comes closer and closer, finally claiming the son's life before the father can get him to safety. In this unabridged arrangement the characters of the narrator, father, son and Erl King are delineated by a different combination of instruments for each. The relentless galloping of the horse is maintained throughout. This is an exciting work that any band at intermediate level will enjoy, as will the audience!

Second parts for flute, clarinet, trumpet and alto sax are suitable for quite junior players, but are not essential to the work. Parts for less common instruments are provided, but not essential. The bass is covered in trombone, baritone and tenor sax parts, in case tuba is not available. Percussion parts can be played on whatever instruments are available. The style of the work is descriptive and classically based, and would make an effective contrast to your band's usual repertoire.
