Verdi's most popular opera A�da was premiered in 1871 and has been possibly performed more than any other....over 1,100 times at the Metropolitan Opera alone.

Preludio begins quietly and mysteriously and quickly builds to a gigantic emotional climax and just as quickly dies down to nothing again...foreshadowing what will occur in the opera.

Thomas J�stlein has beautifully arranged this passionate work of about 4 minutes in length for Brass Quintet composed of advanced performers.

Instrumentation is for 2 Trumpets in C, Horn in F, Trombone and Tuba.

This arrangement is dedicated to the Metropolitan Opera Brass Quintet.
