Holst-Planets, The arr. Prouty (Percussion parts ONLY)- B/V/C/X/5T/P/2PN

The percussion parts for this arrangement of The Planets, are derived from Holst's orchestral version, and the imagination of Deane Prouty. It is used in conjunction with Holst's complete original two-piano score. All of the original orchestrated percussion parts have been included along with additional percussion scoring which imitates and colors what is heard in the later orchestral version. The entire suite can be played by two percussionist and two pianists, or the parts may be divided among several players for use in a percussion ensemble. The piano scores can be obtained through Hal Leonard.
