One of the most
dramatic selections ever
presented for band,
Andrea Chenier has been a
staple of mature and
professional bands for
over a century. This
intense and exciting work
includes some of the most
passionate moments from
the Italian opera into a
breathtaking tour de
force for mature bands.
Prominently featuring
bel-canto solos for
euphonium and
cornet/trumpet, the
gorgeous melodies and
dramatic musical climaxes
will both thrill and
excite performers and
audiences alike. This
striking new arrangement
includes full score, and
is carefully
re-orchestrated to be
more idiomatic to the
wind band medium. Not for
the faint-of-heart, and
musically challenging,
Andrea Chenier is ideal
for experienced bands,
and is not to be
missed!
