Night on bald Mountain (313.11) Mussorgsky’s iconic tone poem Night on Bald Mountain, completed by Rimsky-Korsakov, inspired by Russian folk literature and legend, conjures up spirits, witches, demons and monsters, but concludes with a happy sunrise ending. The composition was immortalized by Leopold Stokowski’s arrangement of it in the 1940 Walt Disney film Fantasia. Elliot Chasanov has deftly scored the work for 9-part Brass Ensemble in an 8-minute arrangement for advanced performers. Instrumentation is for: Piccolo Trumpet in B-flat 2 Trumpets in B-flat Horn 3 Trombones Euphonium and Tuba
