Description
The hauntingly beautiful theme from the films Jean de Florette and Manon des Sources, which is originally based on the “Fate Motif” from Verdi’s opera La Forza del Destino, is powerfully set for brass band by John Glenesk Mortimer. The arrangement captures the operatic drama and sweeping lyricism of the original, emphasizing the dark and resonant voices of the lower brass. It is an emotionally charged and sophisticated choice for any program, bridging the worlds of opera, cinema, and modern brass band literature.
