Description:
Composed by Carl Michael Ziehrer, the Cassa-Cou-Galopp op. 19 is a brilliant and lively work that impressively reflects the festive atmosphere of 19th century Vienna. As a prolific composer and conductor, Ziehrer was one of the most important representatives of the Viennese tradition alongside the Strauss dynasty and cultivated a style that is both elegant, rhythmically concise and extremely popular. This gallop inspires with its sparkling energy, striking rhythms and catchy melodies. The lively tempo and the lightness of the musical design make the work an ideal enrichment for any concert program. In Bertrand Moren's arrangement, the original brilliance of the composition is fully preserved and at the same time emphasized by a balanced and sonorous elaboration. Contrasts, rhythmic effects and the cheerful character of the piece are brought out particularly effectively. Short but effective, Cassa-Cou-Galopp is a sparkling example of Viennese light music that still impresses today with its verve and rousing vitality.
