The Finale of the celebrated 1812 Overture, re-scored for young orchestra, is a fine addition to programs, especially those in need of an outstanding closing selection. This arrangement makes an excellent introduction to the music of one of the greatest orchestral composers of all time. Duration: 2'.
The opening and closing themes from Tchaikovsky's famous 1812 Overture are featured in this full-sounding, yet easy arrangement.The conductor should work for a full, balanced ensemble sound in the opening Chorale. At m. 19 the Finale theme enters in the new tempo, Allegro Vivace. The eighth-note rhythms should be as precise as possible, and special attention should be given to articulation. Build to a climax at m. 39 and maintain this level of intensity to the final cadence. From m. 43 to the end, the ensemble should play with a slight separation between notes to achieve the proper effect and clarity.
