| Description: Your students will love rehearsing and performing Richard Meyer's arrangement of the Overture from Bizet's opera Carmen, which contains some of the most recognizable music ever written. Very faithful to the original, the orchestration will give younger groups a mature, full sound, and the multiple percussion parts will keep your percussionists engaged. Best of all, every instrument gets to play the famous melody of the majestically stirring "Toreador Song!" |
