This
opera-ballet was first
performed in 1745 in
Paris to celebrate a
victory at the Battle of
Fontenoy. Musicologists
mostly agree that the
Ouverture is the
highlight of the work.
The music starts with a
slow introduction, with
the balance of the work
highlighted with
brilliant fanfares and
scales, punctuated by the
Timpani. Justin Bland has
brilliantly arranged the
music for an 8-part Brass
Ensemble with Timpani of
the following
instrumentation suitable
for advanced performers:
Piccolo Trumpet in
B-flat, 2 Trumpets in
B-flat (one trumpet
doubles on E-flat), 2
Horns, 2 Trombones, Tuba
and Timpani.
