Text by the composer based on a drama by Carlo GozziTranslation: engl. (L. Salter), ital. (O. Previtali)Place: Im aussersten Orient. Vor dem Stadttor Pekings, Thronsaal im Kaiserpalast, das Frauengemach TurandotsCharacters: Altoum, Kaiser (bass) - Turandot, seine Tochter (soprano) - Adelma, ihre Vertraute (mezzo-soprano) - Kalaf, Sohn des Timur, ein Prinz (tenor) - Barak, sein Getreuer (baritone) - Die Koniginmutter von Samarkand, eine Mohrin (soprano) - Truffaldino, Haupt der Eunuchen (tenor) - Pantalone, Minister (bass) - Tartaglia, Minister (bass) - Acht Doktoren (4 tenors, 4 basses) - Eine Vorsangerin (mezzo-soprano) - Der Scharfrichter (stumme Rolle)Busoni's work, which antedates Puccini's famous setting by a few years, seems rather cool in com-parison to the later piece. Busoni tones down the colors of his orientalisms and totally eschews sentimental lyricism. His strengths lie especially in the scintillating, unfathomable characters and in a music that hovers in an ambivalent manner between brightness and darkness, sadness and humor, danger and harmlessness. This work of art makes its references clear: Gozzi's play about the murderous princess is peopled with familiar commedia dell'arte figures, and one is not quite sure whether this mixture of fun and danger gives a more relaxed feeling to the activity on the stage or whether it does not do precisely the opposite, adding the irreconcilable perspective of a gondola trip on the edge of a bottomless gulf. Busoni is more faithful to Gozzi than Puccini and thus to the gracious levity that hovers over the excesses of the action. His mild chinoiseries repeatedly lead to a Neo-Classicism inspired by Venetian folklore. (Hans-Klaus Jungheinrich, 1985) Turandot was premiered with Arlecchino in Zurich on 11 May 1917.

Made famous by the Woody Herman Thundering Herd, here is a marvelous adaptation for younger players by Paul Murtha. Following the opening chorus for piano, the trumpets state the main theme with answers from the trombones and a counterline in the saxes. The solo section is flexible for any player, but sample solos are provided for trumpet and alto sax. The final ensemble chorus starts softly and builds to a climactic ending – with plenty of attitude!
