Composer: Edward Elgar
Arranger: Jay Bocook
Level: 3-4
In the masterful hands of Jay Bocook, this hauntingly beautiful melody of Elgar's makes a wonderful setting for the field. Nicely adapted to feature woodwind colors, a brief trumpet solo, and a powerful full band “push” before ending quietly.
SINE NOMINE

Completing our “British Masters” field show is this dignified processional by celebrated composer Ralph Vaughan Williams. This effective arrangement opens with a flourish then steadily builds to a rousing finish. An impressive sounding closer or feature number.
