Meyer, Richard) Category: Full Orchestra Grade: Medium Duration: 3:00 Instrumentation: 1.1.2+1.1/1.2.1.1,timp,4 perc,A sax,pf,str=8.8(3).5.5.5 With: Piano,  Violin (Treble Clef Viola) Comments: Morning Serenade (Alborada), Traditional Dance (Fandango of the Asturias) Description: Hailed by Tchaikovsky as 'a colossal masterpiece of instrumentation', Rimsky-Korsakov's 'Capriccio Espagnol' has delighted audiences since its premiere in 1887. The melodies used in the piece go back to themes sketched by the composer for a virtuoso work for solo violin and orchestra. After changing his mind, Rimsky decided to make the work a display piece for the entire orchestra. This arrangement features two sections of the original capriccio: the 'Alborada' (morning serenade) in 2/4 and the 'Fandango of the Asturias' (a dance traditionally played with guitar and castanet accompaniment) in 3/4. Tastefully arranged by Richard Meyer, Rimsky's flashy showpiece is now playable by the less-experienced orchestra.  Score   mp3 Audio Set: $ 57.00   Extra Score: $ 9.00   All prices subject to publisher revision without notice.
