Italian Girl in Algiers Overture is an operatic comedy from the early 18th century. The music is very characteristic of Rossini with lots of excitement and pure, elegant melodies. The opera was written in a very short time when the composer was only 21 years of age.The overture begins slowly and quietly with sudden loud surprising outbursts of comedic effect.Mr. Chasanov's arrangement for 13-part brass ensemble works perfectly for advanced performers, with each part having a fun and challenging time.

Premiering on May 22, 1813, at the Teatro San Benedetto in Venice, L'italiana in Algeri (The Italian Girl in Algiers) by Gioachino Rossini (1792-1868) was a success, with subsequent performances in Vicenza, Milan, and Naples. It was later performed at His Majesty's Theatre in London in 1819, and again in New York in 1832. Rossini's mixture of opera seria and opera buffa is notable — L'italiana in Algeri tells the tale of Isabella, an Italian girl who uses her wiles to trick unwitting Mustafà, the Bey of Algiers, into freeing her and her lover, Lindoro from his palace. The opera itself fell somewhat out of favor in the 19th century but has been revived frequently since World War II with many successful productions. The sorrowful cavatina Cruda sorte! Amor Tiranno! takes place in Act I, and serves as the introductory aria of Isabella, who finds herself shipwrecked in Algiers. The aria is preceded by the chorus Quanto Roba! Instrumentation: 2.2.2.2: 2.2.0.0: Str (4-4-3-3-3 in set): Solo Contralto: Mixed Chorus.
