Description
Capture the sparkling wit and infectious joy of the 19th-century operetta with Frank Seymour’s arrangement of themes from Jacques Offenbach’s The Grand Duchess. This work is a tour de force of light classical music, featuring a medley of the opera’s most famous themes, from spirited polkas to soaring waltzes. The arrangement requires a high degree of stylistic finesse and rhythmic snap, particularly in the cornets and percussion. Seymour expertly adapts the orchestral original for the brass band, maintaining the transparency and “champagne-like” effervescence that makes Offenbach’s music so enduringly popular. It is a perfect concert opener or a substantial “light” work for a gala program, offering a sophisticated and high-energy highlight.
