Courte Ouverture (Wind Band) Tom Juzwiak

'Courte Ouverture' as translated from the French means 'Short Overture'. Written for a medium level ensemble, it commences with a high trill in the piccolo followed by a flourish in the flutes before the main theme is introduced. This primary melody can be heard throughout the selection. It then transitions into an almost hymn-like middle section before an accelerando takes us back to the flute flourish and main theme. This piece uses the music ensemble to its fullest. Memorable melodies and traditional harmonies are spread throughout the instrumentation.To view a rolling score video of the work please visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qh3e4-XDDxMSheet music available from www.wind-band-music.co.ukDifficulty Level: MediumInstrumentation:PiccoloFluteOboeBassoonClarinet in Bb 1-3Bass Clarinet in BbAlto Saxophone 1-2Tenor SaxophoneTrumpet in Bb 1-3Horn in F 1-2Trombone 1-3EuphoniumBaritone HornTubaTimpaniSnare DrumBass DrumCymbalsChimesGlockenspielXylophone
