This arrangement of Richard Strauss's epic tone poem strives to maintain the original shape and power while cutting its length approximately in half. The organ part seamlessly integrates with the exhilarating brass parts for an unforgettable trip up and down the Alps. Jeremy Van Hoy does a masterful job of arranging 125 orchestral parts of this tone poem masterpiece into 11 brass parts plus organ, timpani and percussion.

This arrangement may be played with or without the organ, timpani, and percussion parts. The brass players should play all cues that are not attributed to other brass instruments, if those instruments are left out.

Although this piece is played without pause, there are specific sections. The program is as follows:

  • Night - m.1
  • Sunrise - m.37
  • The ascent - m.65
  • On the wrong track through thickets and undergrowth - m.117
  • On the glacier - m.192
  • Precarious moments - m.223
  • On the summit - m.267
  • Vision - m.347
  • Epilogue - m.361
  • Night - m.400
