Description
“The King of Elfland’s Daughter” is a substantial and atmospheric symphonic poem by the contemporary composer Rodney Newton. Based on the fantasy novel by Lord Dunsany, this work was selected as the 2007 NABBA Honors section test piece, speaking to its complexity and artistic depth. Rodney Newton uses the full resources of the brass band to create a vivid, cinematic soundscape filled with mystical colors and dramatic narrative shifts. The piece demands high levels of technical facility and interpretive maturity from the ensemble, making it a rewarding challenge for advanced bands. Its programmatic nature and rich orchestration make it a standout centerpiece for any serious concert program.
