Familiar to audiences worldwide as the theme for Benjamin Britten’s 1946 A Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra, Purcell’s stately and majestic “Rondeau from Abdelazer†is from incidental music he composed for the 1678 play “The Moor’s Revenge.† The elegant Rondeau has been used as the theme for films and television programs. Scored for two antiphonal brass quartets of two B-flat trumpets and two trombones, alternate parts C trumpet and substitute F horn for trombone 1 of each quartet are provided. Increasingly ornamented first trumpet parts adds to musical excitement of antiphonal brass. Beyond brass programs or special events, consider featuring the trumpet and trombone sections on your next band or orchestra concert with this impressive work. The recording is of the entire arrangement.
