Billy Joel

Leningrad

With his moving worldwide hit Leningrad, pop icon Billy Joel built a poignant musical bridge between East and West. He found the inspiration for this masterpiece during a legendary six-part concert series in 1987, when he toured the Soviet Union as the first major American rock artist. The song tells the touching story of the Russian clown Viktor Razinov, masterfully capturing the enduring hope for peace and humanity during the Cold War.

This expressive arrangement for concert band, published by De Haske Publications, perfectly translates the poignant melody and emotional depth of the original to the modern wind orchestra. Available as a complete set with full score and parts, this piece makes a remarkable highlight for any concert program, captivating both musicians and audiences alike.
