Published by Charles Decker Music Press (A0.1225513).Familiar to audiences worldwide as the theme for Benjamin Britten’s 1946 A Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra, Purcell’s stately and majestic “Rondeau from Abdelazer” is from incidental music he composed for the 1678 play “The Moor’s Revenge.” The elegant Rondeau has been used as the theme for films and television programs. Scored for two antiphonal brass quartets of two B-flat trumpets and two trombones, alternate parts C trumpet and substitute F horn for trombone 1 of each quartet are provided. Increasingly ornamented first trumpet parts adds to musical excitement of antiphonal brass.
