Description
Celebrate the joy and elegance of the Italian bel canto tradition with Peter Graham’s stunning arrangement of Arditi’s Il Bacio (The Kiss). Scored as a virtuosic solo for Bb Cornet, this work captures all the rhythmic sparkle and melodic grace of the original vocal waltz. The soloist is tasked with light, acrobatic passages and soaring, lyrical lines, all while maintaining a sense of playful charm. The band provides a vibrant and stylish “ballroom” accompaniment that perfectly complements the soloist’s performance. This is an ideal showcase for a principal player, perfect for a gala concert, a themed program, or a high-energy encore. Its timeless beauty and infectious energy ensure a triumphant reception.
