Small Ensemble Bassoon,Clarinet,Flute,Horn,Oboe - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.782176 Composed by Melanie (Mel) Bonis. Arranged by James Haynor. Romantic Period. Score and parts. 20 pages. James Haynor #3109515. Published by James Haynor (A0.782176). Mel Bonis (1858 - 1937) was a prolific French classical composer. She wrote more than 300 compositions, including works for piano solo and four hands, organ pieces, chamber music, mélodies, choral music, a mass, and works for orchestra. Because she felt women were not respected as composers in the era, she shortened her given name - Melanie.  This lively piece has the feel of a gallop, fanfare and show piece all in one. It’s a headlong musical frolic from the opening to the big finish and it’s downhill all the way. The piece practically plays itself! A great finale or encore piece that will leave your audiences smiling. ( Duration 2:22 )
