Nashotah House Ceremonial March - Instrument Parts: Letter, A4 Size

“Nashotah House Ceremonial March” is based on a hymn tune, “Seminary Hymn,” which Canon Joseph Kucharski wrote to commemorate the 150th anniversary of “Nashotah House” in 1992. Nashotah House is an Episcopal seminary located near the Wisconsin village of Nashotah [Nah-SHO-tah]. Robert Anello arranged the hymn tune as a concert band march in the British ceremonial style popularized by Gustav Holst, Edward Elgar, and Ralph Vaughan Williams. The full instrumentation for “Nashotah House Ceremonial March” includes a piccolo trumpet descant, but Anello made provisions for alternative instrumentation. The piccolo trumpet and first clarinet parts have an alternate triplet-eighth note version of the sixteenth note runs leading into the final bar of the march. The march may also be performed without the following instruments: piccolo trumpet, oboe, soprano clarinet, alto clarinet, bassoon, string bass.
