Description:
'La Péri' is a 1912 ballet in one act by French composer Paul Dukas, originally choreographed by Ivan Clustine and first performed in Paris, about Iskender (the name of Alexander the Great in Persian) searching for immortality and his encounter with a mythological Peri. It was premiered on April 22, 1912. The original music to 'La Péri' was written in 1911 by Paul Dukas as a 'Poème dansé en un tableau', his last published work. Although not as well known as his famous symphonic poem 'The Sorcerer's Apprentice', the ballet has been considered to be one of his most mature and skilled pieces. The ballet itself is preceded by a brilliant fanfare that uses the orchestra's brass section, and which is often performed separately. French arranger Bruno Peterschmitt transcribed this fanfare for a brass tentet.
