This arrangement includes elements of “Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis,” A Sea Symphony, “Linden Lea,” and “Overture to The Wasps,” all seamlessly intertwined.SKU: AL46618 -

Set in three-four time, the lush arrangement reinforces musicality and the triple meter concept. This setting will certainly make your beginners sound lush and polished. Stunning!
