Description:
The toccata that opens Claudio Monteverdi’s *L’Orfeo* (1607) is one of the most famous moments in music history: this short, radiant fanfare, played before the curtain rises, serves as the opening of what is considered one of the very first operas. Over a sustained bass line, the upper voices weave their brilliant, festive runs in a solemn and jubilant sweep. This fanfare-like character makes the Toccata an ideal choice for brass instruments. Graham Ashton’s arrangement fully brings out the brilliance, grandeur, and power of the movement—a brilliant and instantly captivating concert opener.
