Pruden Collected Edition Vol.2

Larry Pruden (1925-1982) is one of a handful of New Zealand composers who studied under Benjamin Frankel at London’s Guildhall School of Music. Pruden’s significant contribution to the establishment of a genuine New Zealand vernacular lives on in the works for which he is best known. This volume is comprised of five fanfares that demonstrate Pruden’s music for brass as part of the historic cultural link between brass bands and provincial communities in post-war New Zealand.
