Habanera (L'amour est un oiseau rebelle)
by Georges Bizet. Arranged for Four Guitars by Dan Jones
www.danjonesguitarist.com

I have provided a score with notes and TAB, a score with notes only (to facilitate directors' page turns) and all parts with notes and TAB or just notes.

L'amour est un oiseau rebelle (Love is a rebellious Bird) or Habanera is one of opera's most popular arias. The melody was actually written by the Spanish musician Sebastián Iradier. Bizet mistakenly believed it to be a folk melody but was quick to credit the original author upon being informed of its origin.  Iradier had a gift for creating popular melodies as he also wrote the beautiful La Paloma. 

This arrangement employs a variety of timbres and the full range of the instruments. Guitars 3 & 4 are tuned to D and Guitar 1 has the option of playing up to a high A (fret 17), although this passage is equally effective played an octave lower (see note in score).

• I have provided a score with notes and TAB, a score with notes only (to facilitate directors' page turns) and all parts with notes and TAB or just notes.

A video performance of this arrangement is available on YouTube or at www.danjonesguitarist.com

I hope you enjoy playing Habanera as much as I have enjoyed arranging and performing it.

Composed by Georges Bizet. Arranged by James Haynor. 19th Century,Romantic Period. Score and Parts. 87 pages. Gordon Cherry #859991. Published by Gordon Cherry (A0.1267430).

George Bizet's L'Arlésienne Suite is a captivating and evocative musical masterpiece that showcases the composer's brilliance and ability to create rich, emotional landscapes through his compositions. Originally composed as incidental music for the play L'Arlésienne by Alphonse Daudet, Bizet later compiled several of these pieces into two separate suites.

The suite takes listeners on a journey through the vibrant and picturesque landscapes of Provence, France. From the hauntingly beautiful Prelude, which sets the stage with its melancholic melodies and dramatic tension, to the lively and rhythmic Farandole each movement offers a distinct atmosphere and mood.

The suite skillfully combines various musical styles, including folk tunes, dance rhythms, and lyrical melodies, creating a diverse and immersive listening experience. With its intricate orchestration, passionate melodies, and expressive harmonies, L'Arlésienne Suite captures the essence of the characters and story from the original play while standing strong as a standalone musical work.

A true gem of French Romantic music, Bizet's L'Arlésienne Suite continues to enchant audiences with its timeless beauty and emotional depth, showcasing the composer's mastery and ability to evoke powerful emotions through his music.

This extraordinary 9-minute arrangement for advanced performers by James Haynor features a 10-part Brass Ensemble (double brass quintet) with Percussion. Instrumentation is for 4 Trumpets in B-flat, 2 Horns, 2 Trombones, 2 Tubas, Timpani, Snare Drum, Tambourine and Bass Drum.

The première of Daudet's play, L'Arlésienne, with incidental music by Bizet, at the Théâtre du Vaudeville on 30 September 1872, was a devastating event for both playwright and composer and the production was removed from the repertory after 19 performances. The critic Johannès Weber, however, was alert to the quality of Bizet's score and suggested that the composer should excerpt and rescore several pieces for the Concerts populaires where 'the lovely music would be better appreciated than at the Vaudeville'. Bizet must have moved rather quickly to follow Weber's suggestion, for the première of the first Arlésienne suite took place only six weeks later at the Concerts populaires on 10 November 1872 and the work in its new abridged form was soon taken up by many other orchestras. Thus, before his death in June 1875, Bizet had the satisfaction that his suite from L'Arlésienne was played by all the major concert societies in Paris and it has remained firmly in the concert and recorded repertoire ever since.
