Difficulty Level: Medium-Advanced, Grade 5
Style: Contemporary Arrangement of the Classic Vaughan-Williams Symphony
Original Arrangement by Tim Hinton

(Originally commissioned by the Northwestern H.S. Band, Rock Hill, SC, Larry Wells, Director — SC State 4-A Champions)
This exquisite through-composed composition based on Ralph Vaughan-Williams’ tuneful “London Symphony” is one of my all-time favorite shows. This custom marching band arrangement is full of a rich variety of textures, gorgeous melodies, and exciting crowd-friendly music with a British flair. Regal, tuneful, dramatic, and very British!
Fee for the use of the music for the season:
