| Programme Note | This band arrangement was completed in July 2003 by San Jose composer and conductor Hal Peterson. While every effort was made to preserve the original sound of Dances at Threave, certain changes were necessary to accommodate today's contemporary concert bands. Much of the string work was converted into clarinet and saxophone choirs, with assistance bassoon and muted trumpets in pizzicato passages, and the harp part was replaced with a combination of string bass and vibraphone. Although band directors programming Dances at Threave are encouraged to use the original instrumentation whenever possible, several optional parts have been included in this edition to accommodate performances, and exposed solo or important accompanied passages are cued. |
