About the show
This modern fantasia-like arrangement of Holst's "Jupiter", from The Planets, turns each major theme from that work into a separate movement. Features a wide range of musical styles and moods, with soloist opportunities.
- Theme 1 - a contemporary rendition of the opening strains of Jupiter
- Theme 2 - a lively jazz arrangement of the waltz-like theme
- Theme 3 - a more straightforward arrangement of the well known Jupiter chorale
- Finale - a fast-paced finale which combines previous themes into a rewarding culmination
Originally commissioned by the Northrop High School Band, Rachel Thorson, director..
This show does not include a full percussion arrangement, only a minimal outline written by the winds arranger as part of the original commission. If you are interested in commissioning a percussion arrangement customized for your ensemble, please contact us.
