While not for piano-vocal, Paul Murtha's arrangement of Holst's 'Chorale from Jupiter' for beginning concert band is a study in expert scoring. The careful pacing and skillful adaptation of such a grand piece for Level 1.5 ensures a rich texture where every part contributes meaningfully. It’s an excellent example of how to maintain musical integrity for developing musicians.

A solid choice for any concert band's repertoire. Paul Murtha's arrangement of Holst's 'Jupiter' is immediately recognizable and accessible at a beginning level, ensuring quick rehearsal turnaround. The full score and parts are well-laid out, making it practical for school or community performances. At 1:50, it's a great program filler that always resonates with an audience.
