This was one of Stevie Wonder's signature hits from the 1974's and here is a masterfully arranged easy verison in a light bossa style. Trombones grab the spotlight in the beginning and again at the end. In between, the saxes and trumpets take turns with the melody, and there are short solos for tumpet and alto sax.
Relive the opera overture that lead to one of Wagners earliest successes! This setting fully retains all the thematic, rhythmic and musical intent of the original orchestra version. Orchestrated to stay true to the vast scope and dimension of the original setting, this exciting work will compliment any program as an overture or as a big-finish closer!
