The enigmatic title of Roger Zare’s overture is an anagram of Zauberflöte — the work is based on Mozart’s The Magic Flute, breaking down themes from the opera’s overture as well as the Queen of the Night aria, and spinning them out of control. Zare’s charming and clever work includes an “Overt Metrical Fugue,” (a serendipitous anagram of Magic Flute Overture) using a subject that mashes up all of the disassembled Mozart motives. After the fugue runs its course, Zare quotes small but recognizable parts of the overture almost verbatim, but only from the players farthest away from the conductor to create a disembodied sound.
This work is based on Mozart’s overture to The Magic Flute, breaking down the themes and motives from that overture as well as the famous Queen of the Night aria, “Der Hölle Rache,” and spinning them out of control. While the title seems to be nonsense, it is actually an anagram of “Zauberflöte.” I’m sure that Mozart would have appreciated the humor in this work, even though the harmonic language is quite far removed from the Classical era. The piece opens with repeated E-flats, suggesting the beginning of the main theme of the Magic Flute overture, and it gradually expands outward chromatically, creating gritty dissonances. Other borrowed motives from Mozart creep their way in, as well as complex polyrhythms on the repeated notes. I imitate the structure of Mozart’s overture by writing a fugue (subtitled “Overt Metrical Fugue,” a serendipitous anagram of Magic Flute Overture) using a subject that mashes up all of the disassembled Mozart motives. Gradually, I work in references to the excessively high coloratura part of “Der Hölle Rache,” treating it as a second subject. After the fugue runs its course, I quote small but recognizable parts of the overture almost verbatim, but only from the players farthest away from the conductor tocreate a disembodied sound.

This work is based on Mozarts overture to The Magic Flute, breaking down the themes and motives from that overture as well as the famous Queen of the Night aria, Der Holle Rache, and spinning them out of control. While the title seems to be nonsense, it is actually an anagram of Zauberflote. Im sure that Mozart would have appreciated the humor in this work, even though the harmonic language is quite far removed from the Classical era.

Composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Arranged by Mike Hannickel. Sinfonia Series. Score Only. Composed 2002. 28 pages. Curnow Music #CMP 0634-02-140. Published by Curnow Music (BT.CMP-0634-02-140).

Any list of Mozart's greatest works should include this overture. Loved by millions, Mozart's Magic Flute is remarkable for so many reasons and worthy of study by every musician! Why should we deny young band students the joy of playing Mozart just because they don't happen to use a bow on their instruments? Mozart belongs to Everyone! Skillfully brought to the concert band stage by an arranger who works with young bands daily, this somewhat shortened version of the enigmatic Overture is accessible to young bands, but retains a great deal of authenticity. There is added versatility built into this arrangement. A nice performance is possible by using a completeWoodwind section and a Timpanist only. Inspiring!>/I>
