This is the Fugue from his Improvisation and Fugue on an Original Theme in A minor. It was composed in 1884.
If you are familiar with his orchestral tone-poems, you will hear in this piece, the genesis of the thematic and harmonic material used in those later works.
This piece, arranged for double reed choir (Picc,4Ob,EH,4Bn,Cbn) is relatively unknown and well worth discovering.
Please peruse the pages and listen to the recording of the score that is offered to determine whether this arrangement can work for your ensemble.
In addition to works by Richard Strauss, we offer works by J.S. Bach, Debussy, Fauré, Glinka, Gottschalk, Granados, Lotti, Mozart, Ravel, and Turina.
