Prelude and Celebration (Grade 4 - Score and Parts) Concert Band Level 4 Composed by James Curnow

Prelude to a Celebration is a fantastic way to open any concert in the tradition of great symphonic openers. The work starts with a triumphant, majestic fanfare from the trumpet section that provides the basis for the whole work. A rollicking and driving faster section follows for the woodwinds, leading into a broader trio before the opening fanfare returns - bringing the work to a majestic conclusion. Whatever the occasion, Prelude to a Celebration is a piece that is sure to have your audience on the edge of their seats.
