This collection
of orchestral excerpts
from Der Ring des
Nibelungen by Stephen
Fissel represents some of
the major portions of
this great music that
Richard Wagner composed
for low brass. The
selection of these
excerpts comes from Mr.
Fissel's own experience
in preparing and
performing the Ring Cycle
with Seattle Opera. In
conjunction with Ring
performances in Seattle,
he and his colleagues
would often rehearse
these sections and
present them in a concert
along with commentary to
explain their importance,
either elucidating a
musical aspect or an
element of plot
narrative, or from the
standpoint of the
development of the low
brass instruments of the
orchestra.
For the
serious orchestral low
brass performer, Mr.
Fissel's compilation is a
wonderful way to
experience the highlights
of Wagner's operatic
genius embodied in the
four Ring Cycle operas:
Das Rheingold, Die
Walkyrie, Siegfried and
Gotterdammerung.
There
are 22 major excerpts
from the four operas for
Bass Trumpet (part
supplied for original
keys and transposed
version in C or may be
played by a Tenor
Trombone), 2 Tenor
Trombones, Bass Trombone,
Contrabass Trombone (can
be performed on a Bass
Trombone as well), Tuba
and a coil bound full
score.
Included in the
22 excerpt Fissel
compilation are the
following famous
excerpts: Ride of the
Walkyrie, Entrance of the
Gods into Valhalla,
Wotan's Farewell, Dragon
Scene from Siegfried,
Siegfried's Rhine
Journey, Siegfried's
Funeral Music and
Walhalla, Spear and
Immolation Scene
(finale).
