This fine addition to the Bourgeois Editions is from Tchaikovsky's grand opera, "The Maid of Orleans." Based on the story of Joan of Arc, the three movements can be performed together, or the first and last dances can stand alone in performance as well. Movements include: Dance of the Bohemians - a bright and lively display of virtuosity; Dance of the Pages - an elegant minuet scored for chamber winds; and Dance of the Actors - a fiery and robust finale ideal for any performance. It's a brilliant showcase for upper-level ensembles. 3014181 Band Set & Score. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

This Torch Dance, or "Fackeltanz," is an original composition for band composed by Meyerbeer in the 1840s. It is a dazzling display of technical virtuosity. This brilliant new edition by Col. Bourgeois retains all of the vitality and excitement of the original work, while presenting it in a modern format that will make it much more accessible for today's bands. 3013031 Band Set & Score. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Transit of Venus March was written in 1883 to celebrate the 1882 transit of Venus, an event that happens every 243 years when Venus passes between the Sun and the Earth. The work was erroneously thought to be lost for over 100 years until a piano transcription published in 1896 was found in the Library of Congress. This edition received its first performance by the United States Marine Band on June 6, 2012, which is also the date the actual transit of Venus occurred. 3016151 Band Set & Score. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

In his compositional craft, Verdi was not reluctant to display some of his most powerful and dramatic music in his overtures, preludes and ballet scenes. His preludes before individual acts of the operas were shorter than his overtures, but they do foreshadow the mood and intense drama of the ensuing scenes. Paired together in this transcription are preludes from Ernani and Atilla, his fifth and ninth of 26 operatic works. 3016861 Band Set & Score. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Franz von Suppe was born Francesco Ezechiele Ermenegildo Cavaliere di Suppe-Demielli on April 18, 1819. His father and grandfather were both civil servants, and he was distant relative of Gaetano Donizetti. He displayed his talent at an early age when he began to compose music as a young boy, but despite this he received no encouragement from his father to pursue a career in music. He went on to compose many operas, most of which remain relatively obscure; however, the overtures to "Poet and Peasant" and "Light Cavalry" are well known and have been quite popular in transcriptions for concert band and widely used in movies and cartoons. Highly exuberant and spirited, Vienna Jubilation Overture contains all the thrilling elements that are evident in all of von Suppe's remarkable overtures. 3017281 Band Set & Score. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
