About this arrangement

Instrumental Duet Clarinet,Flute,Instrumental Duet - Digital Download SKU: A0.956617 Composed by J Offenbach. Arranged by Catriona Melville-Mason. Concert,Romantic Period,Standards. Score and parts. 5 pages. C Melville-Mason #6481185. Published by C Melville-Mason (A0.956617). This well-known tune is fun to play and makes an ideal encore to a short recital.  To increase the difficulty, go faster!Officially entitled ‘Galop Infernale’, this piece hails from Offenbach’s Orpheus in the Underworld, first performed in October 1858.  Offenbach’s comic opera is a humorous take on Gluck’s highly successful Orpheus and Euridice. During a scene in which the gods are socialising, Jupiter suggests dancing a minuet.  The other gods decide this is far too staid, calling for something with a livelier, party-feel – and the Galop Infernale follows.  The tune’s association with the high-kicking Can Can dance came later, some 50 years after Offenbach’s death, when the French cabaret venues Moulin Rouge and Folies Bergère appropriated the piece for use in this context.
