Concert Band

PROGRAM NOTES
The East of Eden screen adaptation of John Steinbeck’s novel begins in the years after the American Civil War.  Lee Elwood Holdridge’s rich and emotional music to the finale brings to light a struggle and conflict inherent in the human condition.  Although pitched a half-step below the orchestral version, Key Poulan, III’s concert band orchestration is reverent to the London Symphony Orchestra’s performance under the baton of Charles Gerhardt. The concert band key centers are Ab Major and Bb Major.
