Ivanhoe - Elliot Del Borgo

A grand and sweeping panorama that calls up days-of-yore when knighthood was in flower, Ivanhoe, suggested by the celebrated novel of Sir Walter Scott, is a powerful and impressive tone poem for band. As usual with Del Borgo, the scoring is colorful and contrapuntal, with especially fine use of a large percussion section, and the employment of a wide, but accessible, harmonic palette.
