Procession of the Prince uses the first 6 notes learned in most band method books, simple rhythms with repetition, and simple counterpoint. This piece will work with limited instrumentation comprised of flute, clarinet, alto saxophone, trumpet, and trombone. Composer Christine M. Richardson wrote lyrics to the melody to aid in learning the 8th note rhythms which are included on the back of each student part. Correlates with Tradition of Excellence Book 1, page 17.
