Uranus, The Magician, from Holst's immortal music, The Planets, brings magic from the score into the concert hall. Holst has written a score and Ralph Sauer has transcribed it in such a way, that the frightening sounds, harmonies and quirky dance-like rhythms are perfectly meshed for 17 part Brass Ensemble with Timpani and Percussion.
Scored for:
4 Trumpets in C
4 Horns in F
3 Trombones
Tenor Tuba
2 Tubas
Timpani and two Percussion parts
This work of about 6 minutes is suitable for advanced performers.
