Symphonie Fantastique by Hector Berlioz was written in 1830 as one of the first program symphonies in musical history. The March to the Scaffold is the fourth of five movements, telling the story of a drugged-induced dream where an artist who has murdered his lover is condemned to death and marched to the scaffold where he witnesses his head being chopped off by a guillotine.

This arrangement for 13-part Brass Ensemble and Timpani of about 5 minutes in length by Randall Malmstrom is an arrangement of the full movement and is appropriate for advanced performers.

Instrumentation is for 2 Trumpets in B-flat, 2 Cornets in B-flat, 4 Horns, 3 Trombones, 2 Tubas and Timpani.
