Concert Band - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1505936 Composed by Carl Maria von Weber. Arranged by Albert Schwarzmann. 19th Century,Opera,Romantic Period. 203 pages. Edition Schwalbe #1081317. Published by Edition Schwalbe (A0.1505936). Der Freischütz is a German opera with spoken dialogue. It premiered on 18 June 1821 at the Schauspielhaus Berlin and is considered to be the first German Romantic opera. The overture is in sonata form and may be regarded as a compressed tone poem about the Freischütz story. The arrangement is kept in the original key of the composition for symphony orchestra and was commissioned and first time performed (without Euphonium and Tuba) by Mozarteum Wind Philharmonic Salzburg conducted by Hansjoerg Angerer at their New Year's Concert on 6 January 2008 at the Great Hall of the Mozarteum Foundation in Salzburg, then again at their Three Kings' Concert on 6 January 2018 at the Grosses Festspielhaus (Large Festival Hall) in Salzburg, Austria and broadcasted live by Austrian television. A further repetition at the same event on 6 January 2024 again with live TV, now under the new name Salzburg Wind Philharmonic underlines the great appreciation for this arrangement shown by the orchestra and conductor.
