Pavanne - Young Band

One of Gould's most famous and frequently performed works, Pavanne, has been skillfully arranged for young bands by Chris M. Bernotas. This unabridged arrangement preserves the jazz-influenced style and memorable melodic themes of the original while offering more accessible range demands, modern instrumentation, and orchestration tailored for intermediate-level ensembles. Featuring an exciting part for a trumpet soloist, this piece provides an excellent opportunity for bands to explore lighter textures and dynamic contrasts. With a wealth of teaching opportunities, this rendition of a classic band piece is perfect for developing musicianship and ensemble skills. (3:30)
