The
overture to Giuseppe
Verdi's 1862 opera La
Forza del Destino (The
Power of Fate) has
remained standard
repertoire for orchestras
around the world. In this
imaginative work for
winds, Jay Bocook pays
homage to the mastery of
Verdi and begins with the
ominous 3-note
“fate†theme
from the overture.
Throughout the piece
melodies are recast and
harmonies are
embellished, culminating
in an exhilarating
conclusion where the
final seven bars quote
Verdi's original almost
identically. A brilliant
addition to the wind band
repertoire.
