Symphonic Suite from On the Waterfront (Grade 5) (Score)

Symphonic Suite from On the Waterfront by Leonard Bernstein (1918-1990). Arranged by Jay Bocook. For Concert Band (Score). Boosey & Hawkes Concert Band. Grade 5. 56 pages. Boosey & Hawkes #M051662968. Published by Boosey & Hawkes.

The acclaimed 1954 film On the Waterfront starred Marlon Brando and garnered multiple Academy Awards, as well as a nomination for Bernstein's poignant and evocative music (his only film score). Using music from the film, Bernstein created this 20-minute suite which consists of six continuously flowing movements. Juxtaposing moments of tenderness with elements of cold savagery as depicted in the film, this is a monumental and distinctive addition to the symphonic wind ensemble repertoire. (Grade 5) Dur: c. 20:00.
