Fanfare Prelude on "Finlandia"

Title: Fanfare Prelude on "Finlandia"
Level: Grade II/III
Composer/Arranger: Jean Sibelius/Arr. Jim Curnow
Publisher: Jenson Publications
Classification: Symphonic Poem
Instrumentation: Full
Source: Popplers music score and director notes
General Comments: The original work was written in 1899 by Sibelius and is based on Finnish legends and myths. The chorale theme is presented and then broken down for development. The piece generally increases with intensity, but the melody should never be hidden. This is as majestic and Romantic as Sibelius gets.
