About this arrangement

Concert Band/Harmonie - Grade 5 SKU: BT.DHP-0991577-010 Composed by Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky. The Great Classics. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 1999. 36 pages. De Haske Publications #DHP 0991577-010. Published by De Haske Publications (BT.DHP-0991577-010). The symphonic poem Night on a Bald Mountain took its inspiration from a story by the well known Russian writer Nicola Gogol. Mussorgsky took no steps to promote his masterpiece and it was only after his death when Rimsky-Korsakov was looking through the enormous stack of manuscripts that the work resurfaced. Written above the score, Mussorgsky gives a brief description of the story of Night on a Bald Mountain: Gathering Witches, their gossip and chit-chat; The Procession of Satan; Pagan Worship of Satan and Witches Sabbath. This transcription for concert band by Tohru Takahasi remains true to the orchestral original.
