This exciting and rewarding overture is well at home as an opener or closer. Offering challenging material for every section of the ensemble, the music covers a wide gamut of styles and is an excellent way to showcase your ensemble and feature the stunning music of Berlioz in the process. (4:30)
This outstanding pair of contrasting movements moves from a plaintive and pleading Larghetto to an Allegro with all the cheer and sparkle one can imagine. An exceptional opportunity to work on the music of Handel while providing a wealth of opportunities for musical development! (5:15)
