About this arrangement

Concert Band Concert Band - Grade 5 SKU: WJ.3018772 Composed by Mikhail Mikhaylovich Ippolitov-Ivanov. Arranged by John R. Bourgeois. Concert Band Score. Bourgeois. An exotic and colorful Turkish fabric in music. Concert Band. Full score. Wingert-Jones Publications #3018772. Published by Wingert-Jones Publications (WJ.3018772). UPC: 822424044909. 9 x 12 inches.Pursuing his interest in the Turkish peoples, the composer created this work for orchestra in 1930. It is a richly melodic suite notable for its characteristically oriental turns of phrase. This work is presented in four movements: Caravan, which depicts a steady journey over rolling sand dunes; At Rest, alternately tranquil and spirited; Night, serene in nature with a slight touch of mystery; and Festival, a dance-like finale with unyielding exuberance. All the movements use material from folk music of the region combined with a wonderful pallet of wind-instrumental colors. An exotic and colorful Turkish fabric in music.
