Fire of Eternal Glory (Novorossiyek Chimes)
Although considered to be a small work in Shostakovich’s catalog, “The Fire of Eternal Glory” was one of his best known works in the USSR. A recording of the piece, originally written for the war memorial in Novorossiyek, has been playing continuously at that location since its construction in 1960, possibly making it one of the most frequently played pieces of classical music in existence. James Curnow’s arrangement for young band begins with delicate sounds from the bells, and builds to a tremendous climax for full band. Dur: 2:30SKU: HL50490464 -

March from Suite for Variety Orchestra, No. 1
The Suite for Variety Orchestra, No. 1 (1956) is a work by Dmitri Shostakovich in eight movements that draws from the composer’s earlier themes. The first of these movements is the delightful “March,” originally found in Korzinkina’s Adventures, Op. 59 (1940). James Curnow has skillfully adapted this work for band, sure to become a welcome addition to the repertoire for winds.SKU: HL50498728 -
