In this course, Dr. Chad Nicholson examines the first wind band composition by Ralph Vaughan Williams, drawing comparisons and contrasts to other masterworks of the British Band era. A perfect companion to the Holst suites, this masterwork provides numerous challenges for ensembles of every skill level, and Dr. Nicholson takes a practical look at the score to draw out important conducting gestures and rehearsal ideas that can help conductors bring the most music out of this deceptively difficult piece!
