Concert Band - Grade 3 SKU: BT.CMP-0634-02-040
Composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Arranged by Mike Hannickel. Sinfonia Series. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 2002. 36 pages. Curnow Music #CMP 0634-02-040. Published by Curnow Music (BT.CMP-0634-02-040). 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>
