These traditional themes have never sounded so good at this easy of a level!

JM49779 CAMBRIDGE INTRADA - Parts & Score

Categories: Wind Band Catalogue - Openers - Grades 1 & 2, Wind Band Catalogue - New & Recent Titles
Composer: Philip Sparke

Grade 2.0
Duration 1.40

This short processional was designed to be played as a concert opener but can equally be used as a sort of extended fanfare at presentations, graduation ceremonies and similar occasions. Its title evokes the noble grandeur of the university buildings in the English town of Cambridge where "pomp and circumstance" are still a normal part of life.

A fanfare-like passage opens and closes the work and sandwiches a more legato central section.
