Product Description

'On Hearing the First Cuckoo in Spring' is a tone poem composed in 1912 by Frederick Delius. Together with 'Summer Night on the River' it is one of Delius's Two Pieces for Small Orchestra. The two were first performed in Leipzig on 23 October 1913, conducted by Arthur Nikisch. 'n Hearing the First Cuckoo in Spring is the longer of the two pieces', with a typical playing time of between six and seven minutes. There have been numerous recordings of the piece, which Delius's champion Sir Thomas Beecham described as much the best known of the composer's works. This arrangement for symphonic wind ensemble preserves the key of the original.

This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters. ArrangeMe allows for the publication of unique arrangements of both popular titles and original compositions from a wide variety of voices and backgrounds.
