About this arrangement

Instrumental Duet Instrumental Duet,Soprano Saxophone,Tenor Saxophone - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.845187 Composed by G Ludovic. Arranged by Phil Beaman. Classical,Opera,Standards,Wedding. Score and parts. 12 pages. Phil Beaman #6330563. Published by Phil Beaman (A0.845187). The Elixir of Love is a comic opera by Donizetti about an elixir to cause two people to fall in love. It turns out that the elixir was fake (just red wine), but it caused the two persons to realize that their love had always been real. My arrangement maintains this joyful, almost comedic, side of love's feelings. Following Ludovic's earlier piano arrangement I treat just three of the opera's many themes. I have altered and enriched some of the simplistic classical chord progressions. There are now numerous markings throughout, particularly in articulation. Each part requires accurate rhythms, and each part has some virtuosic extended patterned runs. The range for each instrument is wide-2 octaves plus a third. This piece is a fun way to show your technical skills in concert or audition/competition. Or useful anyplace that you want "joyful melodrama" (Donizetti's own description). Also works well for pre-wedding music if you prefer the humorous side of true love instead of the sappy stuff.6 page score, 3 page each part3:00 minutes This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard’s global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters.
