Bizet’s L’Arlesienne Suite No. 1 is such an accessible piece both for players and your audience. Pleasing and straight-forward. The three movements chosen will go together quickly and simply. The Overture opens with a clear unison by both brass and woodwinds. The next section is a chamber group quintet, which then turns it back to a full band tutti section. After a climactic build of this tutti section the piece again drops back to a chamber group of four players. You need two bassoons for this section along with a solo French horn and tenor sax. The Overture returns in full force but finishes out on a surprising pianissimo.

When ordered, an e-file will be sent to you with both score and parts. Because of the size of the score (Legal) a professionally spiral-bound printed score can be sent to you for an additional $ 50.00 and ordered separately.
