Adagio Sostenuto (Movement II from Symphony No.6, Op. 69)

Adagio Sostenuto - Movement II from Symphony No.6, Op. 69

Vincent Persichetti

From Persichetti's many offerings for band, the Adagio Sostenuto movement of his Symphony is a particular favorite for festivals and contests. The second movement of this popular work is one of the most beautiful pieces in the wind band reportoire. This movement is offered as a stand alone publication, so that bands that are not technically ready for the entire piece can still perform this lyrical �gem.� Without question, the second movement is technically easier but musically challenging. The piece is well worth the effort.
