TRERATE For Bemss Paais A PORI L i Paul Dukas
‘ v (1865 - 1935)
While Dukas was known primarily for his tone poem,
The Sorcerer's Apprentice, he was the composer of
many fine works. This fanfare was written as part
of a ballet suite that was dedicated to Serge Diaghilev
and the Ballet Russe.

Variations on a Koredan Folk Thne ....... 1 . John Barnes Chance
¢1932 = 1972)
In this work, which was written in 1967, the penta-
tonic theme is put through a set of contrasting

variations.
DI ol DRLiev'S PavVOrite . ....iiii vasieiinin Karl L. King
(1891 - 1971)
file Gnens Band ol oL el a0l Charles E. Ives
(1874 - 1954)

These two rousing marches, (which will be played
without a break) are quite different in nature.

The Kark King march was composed in 1912 while the
Ives was written in 1984. The connection between
the two is the Circus motif. The Ives march, in
keeping with the unusual nature of most of his music,
contains a surprise.

B TR PREBEERTT L i s Gustav Holst
(1874 - 1934)
Gustav Holst wrote his suite '""The Planets'" in 1910.
It was a massive tone poem depicting 7 planets in
our solar system (Earth was not included and Pluto
had not yet been discovered). While the original
suite was for orchestra, a transcription was made
for band in 1924. This first movement, ""Mars; the
bringer of war'", is the only one which is satisfac-
toily scored for band. John Williams fans will
quickly hear evidence that Mr. Williams was influenced
by Holst's work as he wrote the scores to '"Star Wars"
and '"The Empire Strikes Back'.
