Full Orchestra - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1477673 Composed by Emilie Mayer (1812-1882). Arranged by edited by John M. Laverty. 19th Century,Romantic Period. 141 pages. Zephyrwindmusic.com #1055051. Published by zephyrwindmusic.com (A0.1477673). Score and parts for orchestra, edited by John M. Laverty. German-born composer Emilie Mayer (1812-1882) wrote and published music during a time period that was challenging for a female composer. Doing so under the long shadows of Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven complicated the situation, yet Mayer prospered and was quite successful during her lifetime. Sadly, despite this early success, her works have not received the number of performances they deserve. Faust Overture, premiered shortly before Mayer’s death, is by far her most successful orchestral work. In it, one can clearly hear the in?uence of Beethoven. This edition is based entirely on Mayer’s 1880 publication. It is highly edited including an update to modern instrumentation and the addition of missing/ inconsistent dynamics and articulations.
