Vaughan Williams with Band

Post by Jonathan Fowler »

I know this topic has been discussed before, but I am having difficulty find a previous post that I saw (or thought I saw) in the last year.

Is the RVW concerto a rental only, or is there an edition that can be purchased? I need the band parts, specifically.

Or, if someone does own the parts (perhaps an older version that may have, at one point, been purchased), would they consider a loan to West Chester University of Pennsylvania?

Thanks for any help in advance!

PS Renting isn't a problem either, I just wanted to make sure I had covered all possible avenues first.

You can buy the band version by Denis Wick through his website:

I LOVE playing this piece. BUT.... it's terrible with band. There are other, better pieces.

Find a better Band, IMHO. It's good arrangement, but you need a band that *GASP* knows how to play quietly.

The Dennis Wick band arrangement is available for purchase and seems to be far superior to the Hare band arrangement which is rental only.

Thanks for all of the opinions and info!
