Concert Band - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1498364 Composed by Leon Boellmann. Arranged by John Ivor Holland. 19th Century,Classical,Religious. 49 pages. John Ivor Holland #1074704. Published by John Ivor Holland (A0.1498364). Léon Boëllmann (1862 –1897) was a French composer, born in Alsace. An admirer of Saint-Saëns, he composed around 160 works until his early death at the age of 35, probably from tuberculosis. His best-known composition is ‘Suite Gothique’ (1895), now a staple of the organ repertoire. The third movement 'Prière à Notre-Dame' is probably the most famous movement (along with the concluding 'Toccata') and has been arranged for many ensembles over the years; this fresh version for full concert band includes additional parts for percussion and alternative transpositions to allow greater flexibility for smaller ensembles and is sensitively cross-cued throughout, whilst still retaining the essential 'organ' sound as much as possible.
