Product Description
This expert arrangement for brass band by Barrie Gott of Carl Maria von Weber's popular overture, 'Euryanthe' will be a terrific addition to concert programmes.
'Euryanthe' is acknowledged as one of Weber’s most important operas and is based on the 13th-century French romance L’Histoire du très-noble et chevalereux prince Gérard, comte de Nevers et la très-virtueuse et très chaste princesse Euriant de Savoye, sa mye.
Only the overture, an outstanding example of the early German Romantic style (heralding Richard Wagner), is regularly played today.
This transcription for brass band attempts to realise the orchestral score as closely as possible. There are many technical challenges that will provide opportunities for the expert level of player and ensemble. It will be and exciting addition to a concert programme.
