This Sibelius masterwork is now intelligently transcribed for today's orchestra. Vital brass entrances have preparation to assure secure attack. Careful doubling, cuing, and more, will allow the work to succeed with large groups as well as smaller ensembles or orchestras with unbalanced instrumentation. Audiences will respond, and your musicians will experience the joy of performing culturally time-tested, great music.
In the full orchestra series, all material (except percussion) is covered in the string writing so the pieces can be performed in their entirety by a string orchestra, or by adding winds and percussion you can perform these works as a full orchestra.
