Concert Band - Grade 5 SKU: WJ.3018041 Composed by Jacques Offenbach. Arranged by John R. Bourgeois. Concert Band Grade 4 & Up. Bourgeois Series. Concert, Contest. Concert, Contest. Score and parts. Wingert-Jones Publications #3018041. Published by Wingert-Jones Publications (WJ.3018041). UPC: 822424040475. 9 x 12 inches.Jacques Offenbach's operetta Voyage to the Moon tells the enchanting story of a prince that sets out on an adventure to travel to the moon. Premiered in Paris in October of 1875, the production was loosely based on the popular Jules Verne novel From the Earth to the Moon and spared no expense in making it a major theatrical event. This lively and exuberant overture contains various themes from the operetta including a beautifully lyric horn solo before concluding with a brilliant cancan-like presto that Offenbach is famous for. The musical flair and dance-like exuberance brilliantly reflect the grand spectacle of the stage presentation.
