Berlioz based his sparkling overture Le Carnaval Romain on themesfrom his opera Benvenuto Cellini. The opera had been performed a fewtimes in Paris, a number of years before, with little success. The overturehowever, quickly became very popular and is still today a great a crowdpleaser. The energetic vitality of the work - with an Italian touch- is certainly present in this skilfully written transcription by TohruTakahashi. Hector Berlioz (1803-1869) baseerde zijn sprankelende ouverture Le Carnaval Romain - die verscheen in 1844 - op thema's uit zijn opera Benvenuto Cellini, namelijk de tenoraria uit de eerste akte en de carnavalscene uitde tweede akte. De opera was een aantal jaren daarvoor een paar keer opgevoerd in Parijs, met weinig succes. De ouverture werd echter al snel bijzonder geliefd. Een snelle opening leidt een langzaam deel in, waarna een spannendallegro volgt. De energieke vitaliteit - met een Italiaans tintje - spat van het werk af, ook in deze vakkundig geschreven transcriptie van Tohru Takahashi.Die strahlende Ouverture Le Carnaval von Hector Berlioz greift auf Themen aus der einige Jahre zuvor uraufgefuhrten Oper Benevenuto Cellini zuruck. Damals war die Ouverture erfolgreicher als die Oper selbst und hat - zu Recht - bis heute nicht an Popularitat verloren. Die energiegeladene Lebendigkeit dieses Werkes mit italienischem Flair ist in der geschickt geschriebenen Transkription von Tohru Takahashi absolut prasent. Le compositeur, chef d'orchestre et critique musical Hector Berlioz (1803-1869) fut un des plus grands innovateurs et plus eminents representants du romantisme musical francais.La semillante ouverture du Carnaval romain (1844), reprend quelques themes de l'opera malchanceux Benvenuto Cellini et notamment le duo initial (Acte I) et la grande scene du Carnaval (Acte II). Lorsque Benvenuto Cellini fut offert au public parisien en 1838, l'œuvre fut conspuee. Au bout de quelques representations, l'opera fut abandonne, mais son ouverture connut un immense succes.La frenesie du bref passage introductif est absorbee par une phase lente. L'Allegro qui suitdechaine la liesse du Carnaval. L'extraordinaire vitalite de l'œuvre originale, coloree d'une touche italienne, se revele aussi dans cette brillante transcription pour Orchestre d'Harmonie signee Tohru Takahashi.

“Haunt ed Carnival†is a fun, spooky piece that first year students will enjoy performing during the Fall season. Using just five notes, this easy piece can be included on beginning musicians' first concert and was carefully constructed to stay within the limits of their abilities while also maintaining melodic and harmonic interest. The creepy celesta part can be played an octave higher on piano, and is integral to the piece as it establishes the tempo and provides harmonies not found in the string parts. The piece is divided into three main string parts: Violin I, Violin II/Viola, and Cello/Bass. The violin II and viola parts are identical and the cello and bass parts are in octaves. Unison rhythms ensure homogenous playing between sections, building confidence in the young ensemble. Download the free accompaniment track at carlfischer.com/bas89.

The groove here alternates between samba and partido alto rhythms. As the music plays, you can almost see the dancers in their elaborate, colorful costumes. The chart has been meticulously crafted to ensure that the rhythm section faithfully captures authentic Brazilian grooves. Solo space is reserved for alto sax and trumpet, and a guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson is included. Duration 5:25.
