Description
The overture to Carl Maria von Weber’s opera Oberon is a foundational work of German Romanticism, famously beginning with the call of a magic horn. This brass band arrangement by the legendary conductor Peter Parkes captures the brilliance, fantasy, and technical excitement of the original orchestral score. From the mysterious opening to the exhilarating fast sections, the arrangement is a demanding and rewarding challenge for the entire band. This edition is provided in a traditional manuscript format and is a staple for competitive and high-level concert performance.
