Bumpmusic Editions #997156. Published by Bumpmusic Editions (A0.1415431). The BBC sitcom 'Fawlty Towers', written and starring John Cleese and Connie Booth and set in a sea-side hotel in Torquay featured a cast of misfit stereotypes, boiuncing from one disaster to another. To introduce this Dennis Wilson (1920 - 1989) produced a gentle 'Palm Court Orchestra' theme for string quartet, echoing Beethoven and Boccherini and even Mozart's Diverimento for two horns and sting quartet (K522) otherwise known as 'The Musical Joke'. The main theme leads to a much faster 6/8 section in which the melody is varied and distorted melodically and harmonically before the main theme reoccurs. The music concludes with a rather forced coda.This arrangement is for mixed woodwind ensemble, Clarinet, Alto Sax, Tenor Sax and Trombone. A version is also available for Saxophone Quartet.
