Concert Band

Evocation of the Spirit

Composer

Sergei Rachmaninoff and Jacques Arcadelt

Transcribed by

Kenneth Singleton

Written approximately 400 years apart, Kenneth Singleton’s remarkable Evocation of the Spirit brings these two settings of the Ave Maria together in a surprisingly cohesive compilation. The sensitive scoring the arranger used to create this band work will no doubt elevate your students’ musicianship to a new level. The two movements can successfully be played in any order, and each work can also function as a short, stand-alone moment of sublime beauty in any concert setting.
