Concert band - Grade 3 SKU: CL.012-4402-01
Composed by Taneyev. Arranged by Glover. Concert Band. Gems of the Concert Band Series. Audio recording available separately (item CL.WFR384). Extra full score. Composed 2015. Duration 4 minutes, 32 seconds. Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications #012-4402-01. Published by Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications (CL.012-4402-01). This solemn and remarkable composition from Sergius Taneiev, transcribed by Andrew Glover, is an exceptional tour de force for concert band. Stylistically reflective of Russian nationalism of the late 1800s, and exploring the full sonorities of the band, this work provides both the opportunity for delicate, lyrical performance as well as a robust climax. Intense at times, while reflective at others, Temple of the Gods offers a unique performance opportunity for mature bands. Exceptional!
