Rolling Thunder is the classic example of a "screamer" - an upbeat circus march intended to excite the audience during the show. Editor Richard Sargeant has produced this newly engraved score using the original parts issued by the composer's publishing concern Fillmore Brothers in 1916. The new Serenissima Band Classics series is designed to offer band directors and others interested in this genre newly engraved authoritative editions which are prepared from the primary sources using the composer's original instrumentaion, which is sometimes markedly different from that found in bands today.
