Description
Band concert band - Grade 1.5
SKU: KJ.WB327
Composed by George Frideric Handel. Arranged by Chuck Elledge. Standard of Excellence: In Concert. Band, Repertoire. Score and set of parts. Neil A. Kjos Music Company #WB327. Published by Neil A. Kjos Music Company (KJ.WB327).UPC: 8402701225. 9 x 12 inches.
Masterfully arranged, this delightful three-movement suite from Handel's opera Ariodante makes use of symphonic capabilities as it explores musical characteristics of the Baroque style. Students will learn to play light and elegant melodies with a bright, clean and clear sound.
The first two movements are arrangements of dances from a ballet sequence and the final movement is an arrangement of the instrumental introduction to the final chorus of the opera. Teaching opportunities abound in this contest/festival piece!
