Let’s face it, playing Pomp and Circumstance endlessly can be a drag, but it doesn’t have to be anymore! This arrangement starts with a fanfare into the traditional version, then moves through several tasty and understated mash-ups, while never obscuring the melody:
A – Traditional
B – “Pomp” on the G String
C – Pomp-elbel’s Canon
D – Pomp Potpourri
E – Basso Pomposo
The keys and voicing were carefully chosen to keep ranges reasonable, so you won’t need to call 911 for the musicians even with the largest of graduations.
This arrangement features our exclusive Escape Hatch™ feature which provides multiple, clear, predefined options to easily end a piece. This is very useful if you’re not sure how many graduates there are or how much music you’ll need. Say goodbye to dirty looks from the speaker and scrambling to find a suitable cutoff location “on the fly.” Escape Hatch allows your brass quintet to quickly and professionally react to events as they develop on the gig.
PDF version includes substitute Trombone part for French Horn.
