About this arrangement

Full Orchestra - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1217090 Composed by Hector Berlioz. Arranged by Derrick Thom. Lewis. Instructional,Romantic Period. 22 pages. Derrick Thom. Lewis #813626. Published by Derrick Thom. Lewis (A0.1217090). This is a “toccata” for whom? Answer: the celli, basses, bassoons and tuba, for this is a workout for those often under-challenged members. In addition, this a gem of a piece as regards its wonderfully concise construction and simple, satisfying form. It is historically ironic, given Berlioz' wild public image and antipathy to musical authority, that he could produce such a work as this so effortlessly, a product a pure intellect without seeming passion. This could serve as an effective curtain-raiser or a daily exercise in general rehearsal. As many characteristics of the composer as I could manage are to be found in this arrangement, viz. Tbn. on melody, High viola the same, W/w tremolos, Fl./vl. Unison melody, --thereby (hopefully) evoking the Corsair Overture, Harold in Italy, Sym.Fantastique, Nuits d'Éte.
