Symphonic Dances from West Side Story

Description

Score for Symphonic Dances arranged by John Musto from Bernstein's hit musical.

2007 marked the 50th anniversary of West Side Story, considered by many to be Broadway's greatest contribution to the arts, as well as the most memorable work from legendary composer Leonard Bernstein. Bernstein's own symphonic setting continues to be performed by every major orchestra and is now available in authentic form for concert band.

As with the original orchestral version, individual dances may be performed in combinations to accommodate shorter program needs. With commentary by Jack Gottlieb.
