Description:
This overture to Lalo's opera 'Le Roy d'ys,' originally written for orchestra, has proved to be one of the finest overtures in the concert repertoire. It is an intensely dramatic work, and for this reason, lends itself admirably to a band transcription. It depicts many moods, including love, such as in the original cello solo- assigned to the solo alto saxophone in the present transcription. Because of its constant subtlety, this work music be well understood by conductor and performers, with every detail such as tempi, dynamics, various expressions, meticulously observed.
