Slava! by Leonard Bernstein/arranged by Robert Longfield

Boosey & Hawkes Concert Band - Grade 4
Composed for Mstislav (“Slava”) Rostropovich and the National Symphony Orchestra, this exciting, yet brief overture received it's premiere performance in 1977. Constructed using two contrasting themes that are combined near the end, Slava! is adapted here by Robert Longfield with key and range considerations for school ensembles, but still retaining the energy and authenticity of the original.

This is extremely trippy after listening to the original Slava! that Bernstein composed

Played this junior year of highschool, the only tuba, full tempo...
Those quick chromatics involved so much muscle memory.

[usmpiano]

This recording is also quite a bit under tempo.

My band teacher told me we are playing this and the comments are saying play at 1.25 speed and I'm crying....
