The première of Daudet's play L'Arlésienne with incidental music by Bizet given at the Théâtre du Vaudeville on 30 September 1872 was a devastating event for both playwright and composer and the production was removed from the repertory after 19 performances. The critic Johannès Weber however was alert to the quality of Bizet's score and suggested that the composer should excerpt and rescore several pieces for the Concerts populaires where 'the lovely music would be better appreciated than at the Vaudeville'. Bizet must have moved rather quickly to follow Weber's suggestion for the première of the first Arlésienne suitetook place only six weeks later at the Concerts populaires on 10 November 1872 and the work in its new abridged form was soon taken up by many other orchestras. Bizet however did not turn to preparing a second suite from L'Arlésienne. Some four years after Bizet's death the success of the first suite may have prompted his original publisher to commission the arrangement of more excerpts from the Arlésienne MS from Bizet's good friend Ernest Guiraud who had earlier written recitatives and put together a ballet for Carmen.

THE CRITIC JOHANNÈS WEBER, HOWEVER, WAS ALERT TO THE QUALITY OF BIZET'S SCORE AND SUGGESTED THAT THE COMPOSER SHOULD EXCERPT AND RESCORE SEVERAL PIECES FOR THE CONCERTS POPULAIRES WHERE 'THE LOVELY MUSIC WOULD BE BETTER APPRECIATED THAN AT THE VAUDEVILLE'. BIZET MUST HAVE MOVED RATHER QUICKLY TO FOLLOW WEBER'S SUGGESTION, FOR THE PREMIÈRE OF THE FIRST ARLÉSIENNE SUITE TOOK PLACE ONLY SIX WEEKS LATER AT THE CONCERTS POPULAIRES ON 1 NOVEMBER 1872 AND THE WORK IN ITS NEW ABRIDGED FORM WAS SOON TAKEN UP BY MANY OTHER ORCHESTRAS.

from Roma-Suite. Par BIZET GEORGES. Georges Bizet tat sich schwer mit der Suite Roma :er komponierte nicht weniger als acht Jahre daran. Der Titel ist auf ungewöhnliche Art entstanden. Roma wird von einem sehr pastoral anmutenden Andante eröffnet, welches - zusammen mit einem Allegro Agitato - den ersten Satz von Bizets Komposition bildet. Wil van der Beek hat zum Andante eine wunderschöne Bearbeitung für Blasorchester geschrieben, die bei Musikern und auch beim Publikum gleichermaßen Anklang finden wird. / Niveau : 3 / Musique pour célébration / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

The New Essential Companion. Henrik Wiese, the internationally renowned orchestral and solo flautist, has spent four years compiling what promises to be the definitive guide to audition repertoire for students preparing for a seat in a professional orchestra. He has worked with his own students in Salzburg as they engaged in auditions, as well as with other professional players and his teaching colleagues at the conservatorium. He sourced repertoire lists from job advertisements past and present and referred to other audition lists such as those of Baxtresser and Wye. Considerable research has gone into the differences between existing editions of the chosen pieces even, surprisingly, from twentieth century composers such as Prokofiev and Stravinsky. 'The Flute Audition” then looks at practical matters such as page turns and metronome markings. Wiese comments, for example, that Hindemith's own recording takes a passage from 'Symphonic Metamorphoses” markedly slower than in the score. The result of all this painstaking research is the most comprehensive collection of international audition pieces yet published in a single volume. 'This is an excellent collection of orchestral excerpts for the next generation of young musicians. You can use it to prepare for auditions anywhere in the world. Whether it's for an opera house, symphony or chamber orchestra, everything you need is here.'/ Recueil / Flûte Traversière

The opera Carmen after a short story by Prosper Merimee and the incidental music to the play L'Arlesienne by Alphonse Daudet are without doubt the most important works of Bizet.

from Carmen-Carmen est l?œuvre la plus célèbre de Georges Bizet (1838-1875). Critiqué et conspué par le public français lors de sa création en raison d?une intrigue jugée indécente cet opéra sera néanmoins considéré en peu de temps comme un chef-d?œuvre grâce à ses mélodies captivantes son caractère espagnol et ses rythmes animés. D?un point de vue musical la sémillante Marche des Toréadors est l?une des pages les plus célèbres de l?opéra. Séduit par sa vivacité Tohru Takahashi en a réalisé une transcription pour Orchestred?Harmonie.
