Composed by Bedrich Smetana. Arranged by Charles Decker. Contest,Festival,Multicultural,Opera,Romantic Period,World. Brass Band. 47 pages. Charles Decker Music Press #3594099. Published by Charles Decker Music Press (A0.817135).Originally for orchestral brass, now scored for traditional British Brass Band instrumentation, this elegant and powerful fanfare served as the prelude to Smetana's 1881 opera Libusa. It can be a feature as well for the brass section of a concert band using the included set of alternate parts for standard wind band brass instruments (B-flat cornet for soprano cornet in E-flat, F horns for E-flat alto horns, and all low brass parts in bass clef) in substitution for British Brass Band instrumentation. The audio file is an actual brass ensemble performance and not a computer playback of the score.
