Procession of the Nobles (Cortège from Mlada) by Rimsky‑Korsakov, arranged by Merle J. Isaac, is a grand, ceremonial orchestral march from his opera-ballet Mlada (1890). Featuring stately brass fanfares, rhythmic vitality, and vivid percussion, this Grade 4 arrangement paints a vivid picture of a regal procession in E‑flat major. It's a striking concert opener that showcases brilliant orchestration and noble drama tailored for intermediate ensembles .
