Barcarolle (from The Tales of Hoffmann) (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Offenbach, Jacques - Van der Beek, Wil

The famous Barcarolle from Offenbach's The Tales of Hoffmann opens the fourth act of the opera, which takes place in Venice. For this reason Offenbach chose a barcarolle - a Venetian gondolier song with its characteristic swaying rhythm. Wil van der Beek's arrangement gives this romantic song an alternative, lighter beginning, making it suitable for almost any wind orchestra.Duration: 4:00
