Description:
French composer Léo Delibes (1836 - 1891) was specialized in ballets, operas, and other works for the stage. His most notable works include ballets like 'Coppélia' and 'Sylvia' as well as the operas 'Le roi l'a dit' and 'Lakmé'.
'Coppélia' is a comic ballet from 1870 originally choreographed by Arthur Saint-Léon to the music of Léo Delibes, with libretto by Charles-Louis-Étienne Nuitter. The ballet and its music became very popular. Especially the 'Mazurka' from the first act is even today very wellknown and often played on its own.
Dutch arranger Jos Dobbelstein transcribed the short 'Prelude' followed by the 'Mazurka' for Symphonic Band.
