Published by Phillip Lawrence (A0.883766). The Ride of the Valkyries Wagner.What do brass bands like, a good tune, a challenge, a good blow and technical work-out, a chance to show that a brass band can do what any other instrumental group can do including the symphony orchestra, and being able to bring the great classics to locals in their community, in the concert hall and in the band stand where the music comes to the public too? I’m sure that desires and ideals might be listed above. Besides the history of bands 180 years ago having no music and those within arranged popular tunes of the day and great classic symphonic works (often truncated), not al lots has changed apart from the fantastic influx of composed works for band over the last 60+ years, there’s also been a steady influx of orchestral works form the 1980’s as the technical facility of players has grown beyond belief, for EG. My old mentor and teacher Howard Snell working with Desford and other bands into the 90’s started to arrange orchestral works that A. Were fantastic works of musical caliber (many unknown the the BB rep) and, B. A superb challenge to the band - Daphnis and Chole Suite No 2 Ravel and Pines of Rome Respighi to name just two. In the same vein I have recently released Romeo & Juliet Tchaikovsky recently premiered in London by The Fulham Band, and today I let fly again one of the best known musical works in the world yet so far either not arranged because of over all length and technical difficulty, or just too harder work for the arranger? The Ride of the Valkyries Richard Wagner. 4 pages of full on can’t take your eyes off for a second challenge! Will your band take it on? Chop fatigue guaranteed plus and standing ovation from the audience.

Michael Butkus-Bomier #3585619. Published by Michael Butkus-Bomier (A0.862650). Ride of the Valkyries has had such a fine life of its own, apart from its opera of origin. From action serials to cartoons, to the concert orchestral stage, its restless and relentless melody, and the accompaniment of turbulent foreboding is known to us all. Here is a piano solo version that keeps that upper violin line going all the way through, and puts the melody in the bass. Organ arrangements have the advantage of us as pianists, since they can use their feet. Alas, we have but our two hands, and they will be busy here heralding the guardians of Vahalla and making the accompaniment at the same time. In the original key. Clear spellings and playable spans throughout. Some chord symbols to mark upper-register arpeggios. MBB.
