About this arrangement

Concert band - Grade 4 SKU: BF.BM1226-SCORE Composed by Leon Boellmann. Arranged by Rens van Leeuwen. Baton Music orchestral series. Full score. Baton Music #BM1226-SCORE. Published by Baton Music (BF.BM1226-SCORE). Léon Boëllmann (1862 –1897) was a French composer, born in Ensisheim, Haut-Rhin, Alsace. During the sixteen years of his professional life, Boëllmann composed about 160 pieces in all genres, faithful to the style of Franck and an admirer of Saint-Saëns. His best-known composition is ‘Suite Gothique’ (1895), now a staple of the organ repertoire, especially its concluding Toccata, a piece 'of moderate difficulty but brilliant effect', with a dramatic minor theme and a rhythmic emphasis that made it popular even in Boëllmann's day. Dutch arranger Rens van Leeuwen transcribed the ‘Suite Gothique’ for a Symphonic Band.
