Solid, Adaptable Performance Piece
A well-arranged 'Carnival of Venice' for concert band. Grade 3 for the band parts means it's manageable for a variety of groups, and the solo options at Grade 4 are a nice feature. At 4 minutes, it's a good length for a program filler or a featured number. The full score and parts from Hal Leonard are always reliable for performance, ensuring a smooth rehearsal process.
