Italian Wedding Song

Italian Wedding Song is a lyrical, very romantic song in G minor, reminiscent in some ways of the music of Puccini and Verdi. Like Barnes' Yorkshire Ballad, it is a brief, solemn work, perfect for teaching students to play in an emotional, legato style. If you have a good Euphonium player, this work is a must; it is an excellent choice for a moment of touching repose on your next concert. Italian Wedding Song is carefully scored and cross-cued, and the ranges are very reasonable for all instruments.

Italienische Lustspiel Ouverture - Ted Huggens

This work was composed in the style of an Italian opera overture. The first part has a quick tempo and flashing dynamics, and contains some virtuoso passages. It has clearly been inspired by Rossini's music. The slow second movement is based on the popular Italian folksong 'Santa Lucia'. It looks like a serenade with trumpet and alto saxophone solos. The themes of the first movement come back in the fast final movement with a virtuoso part for the bass instruments. The composer adds now and then some motorial rhythm.
