Pictures at an Exhibition, Part 5: Concert Band Conductor Score

This orchestration, which is completely original, is primarily based on the autograph manuscript.  In accordance with the purpose of the ConcertMasters orchestra series, the orchestra size has been kept small.  The only departures from Mussorgsky's original score are the transposition of the entire work up a whole step, simplification of a 16th-note sextuplet accompaniment in "The Hut on Chicken Legs," and selective omission of the "attacca" indications that are found at the end of each Promenade section.  Movements: 15. The Hut on Chicken Legs (Baba-Yaga)  16. The Knight's Gate in the Old Capital, Kiev (The Great Gate of Kiev).  Instrumentation: 2+Picc.2.2+BCl.2: 4.3.3.1: Timp.Perc)4): Str(9-8-7-6-5).
