In 1885 Verdi wrote I Vespri Siciliani, an opera which would provide him with an international reputation. The overture is based on motifs and themes from the opera, used in a rhapsodic way. A mysterious introduction and several energetic themes alternate with some passionate melodies, the secret of which only Verdi had. The French composer and conductor Paul Desprey made this arrangement for symphonic band.
