Full Orchestra Score & Parts

At the 1893 world premiere of Antonin Dvorak's "New World" Symphony in Carnegie Hall, the audience was deeply moved by the Largo movement.  While some speculated that the melody was quoted from an African-American spiritual, Dvorak himself credited his inspiration to spirituals introduced to him by African-American composer Harry Burleigh. Nearly three decades later in 1922, Dvorak's student William Arms Fisher adapted the Largo melody with new lyrics, transforming it into the beloved song "Goin' Home." 

This arrangement features solo horn, providing a touching and somber countermelody. It was created to honor those affected by the tragic Southern California fires of 2025. The enduring sentiment of this song serves as both a heartfelt memorial for lives lost and a hopeful anthem for those beginning the journey of rebuilding their homes and lives. 

The vocal solo is ideal for mezzo soprano, and alternate notes are included for other voices.

Romantic composer Jules Massenet is best known for writing over 30 operas, but one of his most enduring and beloved melodies is his "Elegie."

This new edition features the viola in place of the cello, beautifully capturing the spirit of the emotional and lamenting lyrics. It opens with a solo viola passage, followed by expressive interplay between the voice, viola, and piano. This version is set in F minor and encompasses a vocal range from middle C (C4) to G5.

A more aggressive middle section highlights the low sonorities of the baritone saxophone before seamlessly transitioning back to the tranquil opening melody that gently fades away.

Puccini's gorgeous string quartet Crisantemi (Chrysanthemums) has been
  skillfully adapted for string orchestra by L. C. Harnsberger. This is one of
  Puccini's rare instrumental works that has unfortunately been overshadowed by
  his numerous operas. Audiences will be mesmerized by the beautiful melody and
  bold chromaticism. Crisantemi was written as an elegy for the 1890 death of
  Puccini's friend the Duke of Aosta (formerly King Amadeo I of Spain). Puccini
  claimed that he was so moved by the passing of his friend that he composed
  the entire piece in one night. Crisantemi features a wide emotional and
  dynamic range which makes it a perfect addition to any concert.

The mystery surrounding Mozart's "Requiem" has inspired operas, plays, and most notably the Academy Awardwinning film Amadeus. The "Confutatis" contrasts dark, turbulent outbursts from the powerful low brass and percussion with sudden shifts to gentle, pleading phrases from the woodwinds and trumpets, creating a vivid sense of emotional turmoil. This stark contrast between chaos and calm gives the movement its striking depth and theatrical power. This arrangement makes Mozart's masterwork playable by grade 3 bands through simplified rhythms, thoughtful part doublings, and carefully chosen ranges. A thrilling and expressive work, it's a standout addition to any concert program.
