Marching Band - Level 3 - Digital Download

SKU: A0.927170

Composed by Arthur Willard Pryor. Arranged by George Willson. 20th Century,Contemporary. Score and parts. 45 pages. George Willson #4408726. Published by George Willson (A0.927170).

One of many marches penned by John Philip Sousa's principal trombonist and virtuoso, Arthur Pryor, this arrangement revises the original 1906 version heavily for the modern concert band. This simple piece follows the most basic march form with four repeated sixteen bar strains: two before and two after the key change trio. The Db Piccolo is transposed and expanded to the modern piccolo and two flutes. five clarinet parts (including the Eb) are reduced to the standard three. Eb altos are transposed for F Horn and given a bit of melody in the third strain. Many other changes scattered throughout the piece update it for the modern band while staying true to the original and breathe some new life into an old and forgotten march.

George Willson has been an performer, composer, and conductor for thirty years in various mediums and ensembles.

Arthur Pryor’s famous theme and variations on “The Blue Bells of Scotland� has been a showcase for trombonists with strong technique and agility for well over a century. While this work is most commonly performed as accompanied by a wind band or with piano, in this arrangement the soloist is supported by a standard brass quintet. The solo part is unchanged from Pryor’s original, though there are some minor tweaks to suggested slide positions and other notations throughout. While each of the accompanying quintet parts do feature some small technical requirements, they remain at an intermediate level where even less-experienced players should be able to pull them off. Performance suggestion: as an option, it’s recommended to utilize Cornets and Euphonium in place of the Trumpet and Trombone parts in the accompanying quintet to more faithfully emulate the sounds of the conical-bore instruments of the period and to better separate the tonality of the accompaniment from the soloist. This arrangement is a great vehicle to showcase a talented trombonist on this classic piece of standard trombone literature!

Arthur Pryor, famous trombone virtuoso, was solo trombone with the John Philip Sousa band, assitant conductor, and finally leader of his own band. 
The Blue Bells of Scotland is perhaps the most well known theme and variations of trombone solos. It requires lightning technique, beautiful lyricism, and a large range. I would imagine that all serious trombone players perform this piece at some time in their career.
This arrangement is for brass quintet, with the solo trombone accompanied by the other four brass.
