Composed by Granville Bantock. Arranged by John Ivor Holland. This edition: pdf, streaming. 20th Century, Contemporary, Contest, Festival, Multicultural, World. 143 pages. John Ivor Holland #1344933. Published by John Ivor Holland (A0.1784876).
Granville Ransome Bantock was born on 7 August 1868 in London. His father was an eminent Scottish surgeon and his younger brother was the dramatist and film director Leedham Bantock. Granville was intended by his parents for the Indian Civil Service but he suffered poor health and initially turned to chemical engineering. At the age of 20, when he began studying composers' manuscripts, at South Kensington Museum Library, he was drawn into the musical world. 'Prometheus Unbound' was commissioned as a test piece for the 1933 Brass Band National Championship; the material was drawn from his choral/orchestral work of the same title but this 'prelude' was conceived by the composer in this version for band. The work is significant for how 'seriously' it treats the band idiom - something of a rarity in the 1930's when much of the repertoire still relied on potpourris and arrangements. Of course, Bantock joined a growing group of mainstream composers, from Elgar to Holst and Vaughan Williams, who were willing to write music for the band medium, so this piece would work well in a concert along side any of those composers.
