Mlada Procession of the Nobles (abridged)

Instrumentation: 0. 0. 0. 0 i 4. 3. 3. 1 i (tp, 1 perc, hrp ad lib) This is Yoon Jae Lee's arrangement of Rimsky-Korsakov's celebrated Procession of the Nobles from Act II of his opera-ballet Mlada. Abridged to 2 minutes in length, this piece is a great concert opener or encore for brass ensemble and works exceptionally well as a substitute for Duka's La Peri, scored for the same instrumentation: 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, and tuba. Additional parts for timpani, snare drum and harp are included as ad lib. should they be available. A complete, unabridged arrangement of the entire procession for brass ensemble will also be available soon.
