New score and parts for Open test piece

British Open organisers to send competitors new parts and score to Vita Aeterna test piece.

Symphony Hall
 

The 162nd British Open Championship organisers have announced that due to the amount of errata needed to be amended into the original score and parts of ‘Vita Aeterna Variations’ by Alexander Comitas, competing bands will now be sent brand new parts and conductor’s score in the next week.

Understanding

A spokesperson told 4BR: "We fully appreciate the problems the competing bands have faced with the extensive list of errata, and are grateful to them for their understanding on this matter.

We have worked closely with the composer to ensure that the new parts and score have been checked and updated to incorporate all the errata to what is universally seen as a wonderful work for the contest."

Thanks

They added: "Our thanks go to Ed de Boer (composer) for working with us and to the bands themselves. The cost of reprinting and postage of the new parts and score will be fully taken by the contest organisers."
