Woodwind Ensemble,Woodwind Trio Bassoon,Clarinet - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.956591 Composed by G F Handel. Arranged by Catriona Melville-Mason. Baroque,Concert,Standards,Wedding. 5 pages. C Melville-Mason #6365913. Published by C Melville-Mason (A0.956591). La Rejouissance, or ‘Rejoicing’, is the fourth movement from Handel’s suite Music for the Royal Fireworks. Originally written for large wind band, the work was commissioned to accompany an outdoor fireworks celebration held in London’s Green Park in April 1749, to celebrate the signing of the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle the previous year. The music proved to be more successful than the fireworks themselves - wet weather meant many of these did not ignite as anticipated.This arrangement for woodwind trio of 2 B-flat clarinets and bassoon makes a useful addition to general repertoire, but is also handy for celebratory occasions such as weddings, special birthdays, graduations, etc.
