1812 Overture
Click on the image above to see a larger version.
This powerful arrangement makes one of Tchaikovsky's most popular and dramatic orchestral works accessible for grade 3 concert bands. The expressive chorale that opens the work has been reworked for brass and bass clarinet, and its dramatic restatement near the end of the piece has been transposed down a perfect fourth so your trumpets will ring through right to the end. Arranger Mark Williams also offers some creative alternatives to achieve the cannon sounds. Try closing your next concert with this all-time classic.
Technical Notes: The 1st percussion part is labeled "Percussion I (Snare Drum, Bass Drum, Crash Cymbals)". The 2nd percussion part is labeled "Percussion II (Suspended Cymbal, Triangle, Cannon, Chimes)".
