Recording available separately on TRNCD28. UIL Level 5. by R. Wagner. arranged by Merlin Patterson. Like many musicians who received their training and education in the "band world", I became familiar with Wagner's. Elsa's. Procession to the Cathedral not in its original operatic form, but through the standard band arrangement. an arrangement so widely performed over the last fifty years as to become something of a "sacred cow. " So when my friend Eddie Green, conductor of the wind ensemble at The University of Houston, asked me to write a new transcription of the work, I knew I would be faced with a unique challenge. to write a "more transparent and colorful" setting. as specified by Mr. Green. , one that would retain the power and grandeur of the original and be more faithful to Wagner's own wind scoring and overall orchestration, yet one that would also be accepted by the thousands of band musicians who know and love the standard arrangement. Upon examining the operatic full score, I was surprised to find that the first third of the piece was scored by Wagner for winds alone. I decided to retain this "orchestral" wind ensemble and gradually and carefully layer in the other instruments. The vocal writing, originally utilizing two choruses staged antiphonally. to represent the people of Antwerp. , has been scored for various instrumental "choirs" within the band. The result is one long, massive crescendo, thus creating the effect of the procession starting from afar, but gradually getting closer and closer. The entrance of the full ensemble and the pealing of the church bells signifies Elsa's arrival at the cathedral.

Soos baie musikante wat hul opleiding en onderrig in die "groep wêreld" ontvang het, het ek vertroud is met Wagner se geword. Elsa se. Optog na die katedraal nie in sy oorspronklike vorm opera nie, maar deur die standaard-band reëling. 'n reëling so wyd uitgevoer oor die afgelope vyftig jaar as iets van 'n "heilige koei geword. "Toe my vriend Eddie Green, dirigent van die wind ensemble aan die Universiteit van Houston, het my gevra om 'n nuwe transkripsie van die werk te skryf, het ek geweet ek sou gekonfronteer word met 'n unieke uitdaging. 'n "meer deursigtige en kleurvolle" omgewing te skryf. soos deur mnr Green. , Een wat die krag en prag van die oorspronklike behou en meer getrou aan Wagner se eie wind scoring en algehele orkestrasie, maar een wat ook deur die duisende van die band musikante wat weet en is lief vir die standaard reëling aanvaar word. By die behandeling van die opera volle telling, was ek verbaas om te vind dat die eerste derde van die stuk is behaal deur Wagner vir winde alleen. Ek het besluit om hierdie "orkes" wind ensemble te behou en geleidelik en versigtig laag in die ander instrumente. Die vokale skryf, oorspronklik gebruik te maak van twee kore opgevoer antiphonally. die mense van Antwerpen te verteenwoordig. , Is aangeteken vir verskeie instrumentale "kore" in die band. Die resultaat is 'n lang, massiewe crescendo, dus die skep van die effek van die optog begin van ver af, maar geleidelik al hoe nader. Die ingang van die volle ensemble en die skil van die kerk klokke te kenne dat Elsa se aankoms by die katedraal.
