The fourth of Persichettis 13 works for band is his elegant monument of the literature, Symphony No. 6, which the composer included among his numbered symphonies (all the others being for orchestra). Cast in the traditional 4-movement structure, Persichettis symphony was among the first major serious concert works composed for wind ensemble, and it still occupies that role as a cornerstone of the literature. The present edition is an 11x14 conductor-size replica of standard score included in the complete set.
