About this arrangement

Concert Band/Harmonie - Grade 5-6 SKU: BT.1803-12-140-M Composed by George Gershwin. Arranged by Franco Cesarini. Mitropa Classics. Classical. Score Only. Composed 2012. 104 pages. Mitropa Music #1803-12-140 M. Published by Mitropa Music (BT.1803-12-140-M). 9x12 inches. English-German-French-Dutch.In this symphonic poem, George Gershwin portrays a day in the life of an American tourist in Paris. The music accompanies him along the Champs Elysées and through the Latin Quarter, where he becomes - in the form of a blues - overwhelmed by homesickness. A meeting with a fellow countryman brings back the upbeat mood, and our tourist enjoys the typical French atmosphere. A delightful trip to the French capital! An American in Paris is wellicht één van de bekendste en populairste orkestwerken van Gershwin. In dit symfonisch gedicht beschrijft de componist een dag van een Amerikaanse toerist in Parijs; van de kleurrijke Champs Elysées naar de Quartier Latin, waar hij overmand wordt door de blues. Nadat hij een landgenoot ontmoet, keert de opgewekte sfeer terug en geniet hij verder van de typische sfeer van Parijs. In diesem symphonischen Gedicht beschreibt George Gershwin den Tag eines amerikanischen Touristen in Paris. Die Musik folgt ihm die Champs Elysées entlang und durch das Quartier Latin, wo das Heimweh ihn - in Form eines Blues - übermannt. Ein Treffen mit einem Landsmann bringt die Ausgelassenheit wieder zurück - der Tourist genießt die typisch französische Atmosphäre. Ein reizvoller musikalischer Ausflug in die französische Hauptstadt! Le poème symphonique, Un Américain Paris, brosse le portrait d’un Américain visitant la capitale française. L’oeuvre débute par un thème jovial : le promeneur descend les Champs-Élysées. Assis la terrasse d’un café du Quartier Latin, l’Américain a le mal du pays. Un blues intensément mélancolique et solidement rythmé traverse la trame. Puis il fait la rencontre d’un compatriote ; la musique s’envole et se réinstalle dans l’exubérance de la première partie. La musique triomphe dans une ambiance typiquement française. Une oeuvre superbement arrangée par Franco Cesarini.In questo poema sinfonico George Gerswhin descrive una giornata di un turista americano a Parigi. Una passeggiata sui Champs Elysées, dove il protagonista assorbe appieno l’atmosfera francese. La nostalgia per il suo paese che assale il turista mentre è seduto in un caff_x001B_è del Quartiere Latino è tradotta in musica da un blues. Un incontro con un compatriota lo conforta e la musica trionfa in un’atmosfera tipicamente francese.
