The Earl Of Oxford's March - Concert Band
Item number 8897571CC, $48.00

This selection from the "Fitzwilliam Virginal Book" has become well-known to band audiences through its inclusion in Gordon Jacob's "William Byrd Suite". Going back to the original manuscript, Mark Williams has crafted an outstanding version of this work for younger bands.

Estimated Performance Time: 2:50

Technical Notes: The percussion part is marked for snare drum, bass drum, crash cymbals, tenor drum, and tambourine.

William Byrd was the most renowned composer of the English Renaissance, and was granted a virtual monopoly by Queen Elizabeth on the printing and selling of music. This selection from his Fitzwilliam Virginal Book is familar to band audiences through its inclusion in Gordon Jacob's classic William Byrd Suite. Originally written in the style of Byrd, with his ambiguous use of the seventh scale degree, resulting in a free mixing of the major and mixolydian modes. This movement, also known as the "Marche Before the Battell", should be performed in a very stately, unhurried fashion. Adapted from the original keyboard work, articulation markings have been added for appropriate sylistic performance.

Composer(s): This piece was composed by William Byrd.

Arranger(s): This piece was arranged by Mark Williams.

Publisher: This piece was published by Alfred Publishing Company.

Series: This piece is part of the series "Alfred's Young Symphonic Band Series".

Believe it or not, this Benny Goodman classic has never been available for standard big band instrumentation. The original contains solo clarinet and less than a full complement of brass. Arranger Mike Lewis has adapted this classic tune for 5 saxes, 4 trumpets, 4 trombones and a rhythm section. There is nothing new here, but now it is available for all standard big bands. This will be a welcome addition to any jazz library.
