Antonín Dvořák: Largo: (Arr. Johnnie Vinson): Blasorchester

Here is a rich and harmonious chorale treatment of this well-known melody from Dvorák's New World Symphony. After the distinctive opening chords, the first statement can be performed as a trumpet solo or soli. The arrangement builds nicely to a full band climax, then tapers to a quiet and effective ending. This is a great introduction to classic repertoire for your beginning students. (3:25)
