Muse Symphony Wind Orchestra 39th Regular Concert

[Program.
 The Year of the Dragon (2017 version)
 Symphonic Suite "Scheherazade" (complete)

Philip Spark's masterpiece "Year of the Dragon" is familiar to experienced brass band players. Originally composed in 1984 for brass band and arranged for wind band in 1985, the "2017 version" commissioned by the Siena Wind Orchestra, a Japanese professional wind band, has been restructured after 32 years. Please look forward to a dynamic and majestic music and a powerful stage performance.

Another piece that has many fans among orchestra lovers is Rimsky-Korsakov's symphonic suite "Scheherazade. The beautiful melody and gorgeous sound will take you to an exotic land. It is quite difficult to reproduce a violin solo in a brass band, and MUSE has been repeatedly considered to perform it, but has been put off. On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the founding of Muse, we are now ready to take on this challenge!
