MARCH FROM SECOND SUITE IN F

Bring one of wind band literature's most beloved works into the chamber orchestra setting with this flexible, educator-friendly arrangement of the first movement of Gustav Holst's Second Suite in F for Military Band. Scored for strings, percussion, and a full complement of flexible wind parts — including flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, trumpet, horn, trombone, and tuba — this arrangement is designed to meet your ensemble where it is.

Intermediate in difficulty, it works equally well for developing chamber orchestras and mixed-instrumentation groups. Optional parts and simplified doublings give directors the flexibility to adapt the piece to their available players, making it an ideal choice for differentiated instruction or varying rehearsal configurations.

Stately and ceremonial in character, this movement shines as a concert opener or a graduation processional. Score and individual parts are included.
