Capriccio EspagnolRimsky-Korsakov/arr.
Richard Meyer. Hailed by Tchaikovsky as a colossal
masterpiece of instrumentation, Rimsky-Korsakov's
"Capriccio Espagnol" has delighted audiences since
its premiere in 1887. The melodies used in the
piece go back to themes sketched by the composer
for a virtuoso work for solo violin and orchestra.
After changing his mind, Rimsky-Korsakov decided
to make the work a display piece for the entire
orchestra. This arrangement features two sections
of the original capriccio: the Alborada (morning
serenade) and the Fandango of the Asturias, a
dance traditionally played with guitar and castanet
accompaniment. Tastefully arranged by Richard
Meyer, Rimsky-Korsakov's flashy showpiece is now
playable by the less-experienced orchestra.

Rosamunde OvertureFranz Schubert/arr.
Richard Meyer. Schubert composed his incidental
music to the Romantic drama "Rosamunde,
Princess of Cypress" in less than three weeks,
finishing just two days before the play's premiere
in December of 1823. Not much time was left
to rehearse the music, and no time at all to
compose an overture. In fact, Schubert never
did compose an overture to "Rosamunde," but
instead used an overture already composed for
the drama "The Magic Harp." While Rosamunde
survived for only two performances, Schubert's
charming music lives on. Festive and lyrical
themes abound in this very playable arrangement
that has been carefully crafted to preserve the
sound of the original. A great way to introduce
your students to one of the early Romantic
period's great masters!

Beethoven/arr. Leidig. One of the most beautiful
and haunting slow movements ever written is now
available for your orchestra. Arranger Vernon Leidig
has taken great care to make this as close to the
original as possible while remaining accessible
to your students. All the solemn dignity of the
original can still be heard as Beethoven takes a
simple motive and builds it into a powerful musical
statement. This should be in every orchestra's
repertoire. Excellent!

Themes from "Scheherazade"Nikolai
Rimsky-Korsakov/arr. Meyer. Rimsky-Korsakov's

and it seems to end with a victorious feel. Perfect
