This
volume brings together
all the music Walton
wrote for brass
throughout his life, from
the various fanfares,
often written for
ceremonial occasions, to
the more extended work,
The First Shoot, a piece
which the editor of this
volume, Elgar Howarth,
was instrumental in
bringing to life. The
volume includes full
critical apparatus and
selected facsimiles of
manuscript pages.
About William
Walton
Edition
In
March 2014 Oxford
University Press
published the last volume
in its magnificent
William Walton Edition,
the only complete
critical edition of a
20th-century British
composer's oeuvre. All 24
volumes are handsomely
printed and bound.
Walton's entire output is
now available to scholars
and performers in a
definitive and fully
practical edition, based
on the form in which the
composer ultimately
wished his music to be
performed. The general
editor, David Lloyd-Jones
- the eminent conductor,
English music specialist,
and founder of Opera
North - invited a
world-class expert to
edit each volume.
Carefully researched
introductory essays place
the works in their
historical context and in
the composer's oeuvre,
and there are full
critical notes.
