In the wake of Georges Bizet's untimely death in 1875, his longtime friend Ernest Guiraud (1837-1892) arranged two orchestral suites taken from the French master's final work, the opera Carmen. The two suites were compiled between 1880 and 1882. Guiraud selected five items for the first suite: Prélude, Aragonaise, Intermezzo, Les Dragons d'Acala and Final (Les Toreadors) which was published by the Paris firm Choudens. The first suite's orchestration little changed from that found in the corresponding numbers of the opera in Guiraud's score.

Around 1906, the German conductor Fritz Hoffmann orchestrated the Séguidille for the publication of his edition first suite by the Leipzig publisher Breitkopf und Härtel. Hoffmann's orchestral setting departs substantially from the composer's own orchestration in the opera. For this new edition, Clark McAlister has provided a new orchestration of the famous Séguidille in which the vocal line is given to English horn while Bizet's own orchestration is largely… Read More

The Carnival Overture - second of the set of three concert overtures originally entitled as "Nature, Life and Love", followed fast on the heels of its predecessor. The original title of the overture was "Life" which was ultimately abandoned for the more poetic Karneval. Work started on July 28 and the piece was completed on September 12 of 1891. The first performance was given (along with its two companions) on April 28, 1892 in Prague's National Theatre with the composer conducting the resident orchestra.

The score offered here is a reissue of the 1955 critical edition of Frantisek Bartos and Antonin Cubr first published in the Dvorak complete works by the Czech state publishing concern.

Chambers wrote and published nearly ninety marches as well as several brilliant cornet solos. His band compositions have been called "some of the finest and most difficult works in the American march repertoire." Today, he is mainly known for two of his marches, Boys of the Old Brigade and the present work. The Chicago Tribune March was written in 1892 for the iconic Chicago newspaper company which was founded in 1847. Over the past one and a half centuries, a number of major (and well as smaller regional) newspapers have commissioned band pieces for special events, a tradition that still continues today, and has greatly enriched the American march band repertoire.
The The Chicago Tribune March was first performed at "Music Day" at the Illinois State Fair in Peoria on Friday, September 30, 1892. The Tribune reported that four of the best bands in the state, plus a 100-strong chorus, had been engaged for that year's event. The first feature of the day was the "March of the Nations" with each of the… Read More

This is a new, digitally enhanced reissue of the score originally published in 1911 by Durand et Cie., Paris. Originally composed in 1910 for piano solo, Children's Corner was scored for small orchestra the next year by Debussy's student and good friend the composer André Caplet, who conducted the premiere in Boston. This is the orchestral setting most widely performed and recorded today. It is a brilliant example of early 20th century orchestral writing. The large conductor score and orchestral parts are also available from Serenissima.

Composed around 1815 and dedicated to Tsar Alexander I of Russia, Crusell's second concerto is one which takes full advantage of the two prominent registers of the instrument, which the minor-key first movement uses to heighten the dramatic nature of the music. The second movement, a pastorale-like Andante in the relative major, is followed by a return to F minor for the Rondo - which nevertheless ends in F major. The concerto was first published in 1818 and this first edition was the primary source for McAlister's newly engraved critical edition offered here - in a convenient reduced-format study score. The large score and orchestra parts are also exclusively available from Serenissima Music.

One of the most popular marches ever written, Colonel Bogey was composed in 1914 by Lt. Frederick J. Ricketts (1881-1945) under the pseudonym Kenneth J. Alford. Born in London, Ricketts enlisted in the band of the First Battalion, Royal Irish Regiment at age fourteen He later studied at the Royal Military School of Music, Kneller Hall. Ricketts served as bandmaster to several battalions, and was appointed Director of Music of the famed Royal Marines of Plymouth in 1930.
He composed 19 known marches and several other light works under the pseudonym Kenneth J. Alford, but Colonel Bogey remains his most popular work. Opening with a characteristic two-note phrase (a descending minor third) it is said that the tune was inspired by a fiery and somewhat eccentric military man and avid golfer nicknamed "Colonel Bogey" who used to whistle the catchy notes instead of shouting "Fore" when about to drive a ball. By the early 1930s Colonel Bogey had sold well over one million copies, and became widely used for… Read More

For the Credo in E minor, Vivaldi borrowed some material he composed for his Magnificat, which places it later - probably after 1727. This completely choral work has much in common stylistically with the very famous Gloria (RV 589) and with his earlier psalm setting In exitu Israel (RV 604). Clayton Westermann's 1970 edition, with an English translation beneath the Latin text, is reissued here in a digitally-enhanced, easy-to-read format.
