A Moorside
Suite was written in 1928
as a test piece for the
National Brass Band
Festival championship
competition held that
year. The three-movement
work includes a jaunty
Scherzo, a lovely
Nocturne, and the popular
March, which has enjoyed
countless performances
since its premiere.
Douglas E. Wagner created
this arrangement with
younger players in mind.
Though slightly abridged,
the main themes and
styles are present in a
carefully-crafted
performance piece
accessible to concert
bands at this level. This
authentic arrangement
still bears Holst's
unmistakable musical
signature. (3:35).
