The Old Castle

Mussorgsky’s “Pictures At An Exhibition” has captured the imaginations of musicians worldwide over the past century. Robert W. Smith has created a new and unique setting of the beautiful and poignant “Old Castle” for the concert band. Beginning with a quote from the “Promenade,” the listener is transported into a different world that is highlighted by one of the most beautiful melodies in all of music. Performable by bands of varying levels, the musical teaching opportunities in this work will place this in your standard repertoire. Beautiful, emotional and exceptionally scored!
