+Aura Hyel Actually, Schuman composed the entire New England Tryptych for orchestra in 1956. Later, Schuman himself separately transcribed for wind band each of three movements: Be Glad Then, America; When Jesus Wept; and Chester. Once they were all transcribed for wind band, they were essentially recombined into a single piece by others and are frequently performed as a set. One can purchase both the scores and the parts to each movement separately.
Very interesting piece, amazing performance.

KenKen3593 Even in Schumans's original orchestral score, he considered the strings of secondary importance to the woodwinds and brasses.
You're on the "United States Marine Band" page....not sure why you would be expecting strings in a band performance.
