Level: 2

If you're yearning for a piece that fuses tradition, nobility, and flexibility, look no further than "First Concepts Concert Band Series - Gallant Fanfare Score/Parts Book." Classified as a Level 2 difficulty, this book brings to life a regal hymn that's widely cherished throughout the United Kingdom and adored by the British royal family.

The rich history behind the music comes from none other than Gustav Holst, using the deeply emotional chorale melody from his suite "Jupiter," with lyrics penned by Sir Cecil Spring Rice. The arranger, Paul Murtha, weaves this familiar tune into an accessible setting suitable for flexible instrumentation, adding another layer of versatility by including an optional part for unison voices.

Just imagine: your concert band transforming into a regal chamber ensemble for a short but impactful 2.20 minutes, capturing the audience's attention and inviting them to a musical journey that transcends borders and generations. It's a performance that offers not only musical gratification but also a sense of unity and tradition.

The scoring is arranged to keep each section of the band dynamically involved, offering a rewarding experience for players who are ready to step beyond beginner pieces but still appreciate a reasonably approachable challenge.
