About this arrangement

Concert Band - Grade 3 SKU: ML.012253080-S Composed by Ted Huggens. Original Overtures/Original Works: Light Music Repertoire. Molenaar Original Compositions. Recorded on Italienische Lustspiel Ouverture (ML.311039720). Score only. Duration 6 minutes, 26 seconds. Molenaar Edition #012253080-S. Published by Molenaar Edition (ML.012253080-S). This work was composed in the style of an Italian opera overture. The first part has a quick tempo and flashing dynamics, and contains some virtuoso passages. It has clearly been inspired by Rossini's music. The slow second movement is based on the popular Italian folksong 'Santa Lucia'. It looks like a serenade with trumpet and alto saxophone solos. The themes of the first movement come back in the fast final movement with a virtuoso part for the bass instruments. The composer adds now and then some motorial rhythm.
