Arranged by Adrian Horn. 20th Century. Brass Band. 37 pages. AJH Brass #861327. Published by AJH Brass (A0.1268795). The one-act ballet La Péri (1912) was Dukas’ final large-scale work dedicated to the French dancer Natalia Touhanova. Based on a Persian folk story it follows a prince’s search for the flower of immortality, and his falling in love with a sleeping fairy. As a last-minute addition before the premiere performance, Dukas added this fanfare as an introduction to the whole ballet. It is written in three parts with a grandiose opening, a gentler, more introspective middle, and a final return to the initial fanfare.Originally written for brass choir, this arrangement is for a full-size British Style Brass Band.N.B. the original version by Dukas did not include any percussion, as such the included snare drum and cymbals parts may be omitted if wished.Â
