Description
French composer Paul Dukas (1865-1935) composed the one-act ballet LA PÉRI in 1911. Originally choreographed by Ivan Clustine, the ballet tells the story of Iskender's (Alexander the Great in Persian) search for immortality, almost finding it when he steals the Flower of Immortality from the mythological Péri only to have the beautiful creature wrest the lotus away, then use it to return to Paradise, leaving Iskender stranded at the Ends of the Earth. The ballet premiered on April 22, 1912, in Paris at the Théâtre du Châtelet, Paul Dukas conducting the Lamoureux Orchestra. While the ballet itself is considered among Dukas' most mature and skilled pieces, the brilliant brass fanfare that precedes the larger work is by far the most well-known part, and it is frequently performed separately in concert settings. The incredibly exciting FANFARE POUR PRÉCÉDER LA PÉRI is a perfect choice to feature the brass section in any band or orchestra performance, and it can be used to great effect in heralding the beginning of a concert. Instrumentation: 3 Trumpets, 4 Horns, 3 Trombones, Tuba. This reprint edition includes the original trumpet parts in C and trombones 1 and 2 in tenor clef, but also includes transposed trumpets and trombones in bass clef to offer more flexibility to players.
