Concerto for Horn and Orchestra No. 1 "Return to Valhalla" James Nathaniel Holland

21st century, American composer James Nathaniel Holland brings you a mystical concerto led by one of the orchestra's most beautiful instrument, the French Horn. But here arranged for Bb Tenor Saxophone (Arrangement available for solo trombone and of course, the original for french horn.) This three movement concerto begins with the first movement, "Return to Valhalla" echoing the great composers Richard Strauss and Wagner. Then continues with an emotional second movement, Vissi D'arte (or 'All for Art'). The third movement is a fun scherzo and march which satirizes the sometimes passive aggression and self importance of the Bureaucrat, coming to an energetic finale that is typical of Holland's music. This arrangement includes the instrument part and orchestra reduction for the piano with the part written above in concert pitch for easier rehearsal. Entire Duration: 20 minutesOrchestral accompaniment can be used with this arrangement to make a Saxophone concerto. (Orchestral score and parts sold separately.)
