Description
The “Procession of the Nobles” from Rimsky-Korsakov’s opera-ballet Mlada is a masterpiece of Russian orchestration, perfectly suited for the brass band in this classic arrangement by Gordon Langford. Known for its brilliant cornet fanfares and regal, “fanfare-like” character, the Cortege is a staple of the repertoire. Langford’s arrangement ensures that the sparkling energy and noble weight of the original orchestral version are preserved, making it an ideal choice for grand processionals, concert openers, or as a spectacular showcase for the cornet section.
