Pour Précéder La Péri. Par DUKAS PAUL. Paul Dukas (1865-1935) was a composer who had little self-confidence and was very self-critical. As a result of this he destroyed the manuscripts of all but seven large and five small works. Luckily kept what is now his best know composition, the symphonic scherzo L’apprenti sorcier (The Sorcerer’s Apprentice). He also came very close to destroying the manuscript of his ballet music La Peri (The Fairy). This was however rescued by his friends. Thus we can still enjoy this magnificent fanfare which was originally used as an opener for the ballet. This magnificent transcription for fanfare band will make a great opening item for any concert. / Niveau : 4 / Transcription / Date parution : 1905-06-28/ Répertoire / Fanfare

Pour Précéder La Péri. Par DUKAS PAUL. In den Werken des französischen Komponisten Paul Dukas (1865-1935) ist stilistisch die Bewunderung für Wagner sowie für den französischen Impressionismus spürbar, woraus sich ein interessanter, seltener Stilmix ergibt. Das Ballett La Péri enthält immense dynamische Abstufungen und fordert die Musiker dementsprechend stark. Die populäre Fanfare, welche dem Werk vorangeht, eignet sich in der gelungenen Blasorchestertranskription von Wil van der Beek als Eröffnungswerk für viele Anlässe. / Niveau : 3 / Transcription / Date parution : 1905-06-27/ Répertoire / Concert Band
