Description:
Stephen Chatman's stirring arrangements the Canadian National Anthem for band or orchestra are meant to inspire. Although essentially traditional, these arrangements convey unique features, including new harmonic and voice leading elements, added trumpet fanfares and flourishes, multi-percussion instrument crescendi, crash cymbals highlighting important off-beats, and woodwinds/strings octave doublings of all parts. The result is 'maestoso'- a bold, brilliant fullness of sound. The orchestral arrangement received its premiere performance on October 6, 2016, by the University of British Columbia Symphony Orchestra conducted by Jonathan Girard. Duration: 1:20
