Good arrangements - PkmnMstr7 - 19-09-2013
Does anyone know of some fantastic arrangements of classical pieces or operas that could be played by a high school band? It's important to make sure they understand the depth and breadth of music and its history!

An arrangement of a musical composition is a reworking of a piece of music so that it can be played by a different instrument or combination of instruments from the original. For example, a song written for one voice with piano accompaniment might be arranged so that it can be sung in parts by a choir, or a piece for violin might be arranged so that it can be played on a clarinet instead. The person who does the arrangement may be the composer themself, or it may be someone else
