SKU: A0.758973
Composed by Gioachino Rossini. Arranged by Timothy J. Olt. Romantic Period. 105 pages. Olt Music #2894503. Published by Olt Music (A0.758973).La Gazza Ladra (The Thieving Magpie) opera is best remembered as are most of Rossini's works - by the wonderful overture! This one is no exception. A true audience pleaser, this will also provide a serious challenge for collegiate to professional level musicians.
This work is scored for an unusual instrumentation for a sax ensemble. The work calls for 2 soprano, 2 alto, 2 tenor and 2 baritone saxes, but is actually divided into 2 sax quartets. This is to allow for use as a side-by-side work for student and professional ensembles.
There are also percussion parts. Although they may be considered optional, the piece works best with at least the snare drum.
