A true classic of the concert band repertoire, the upper-end transcription of this excerpt from Czech composer Jaromir Weinberger's folk opera Schwanda the Bagpiper has appeared on countless concert programs and contest lists for the past nine decades. At long last, this cheerful work is available in a solid scoring for younger players, expanding its appeal to many more ensembles and audiences. Arranged from the original orchestral score, all parameters of this level have been observed for ease of preparation. (2:00)
