Description
SKU: A0.996139
Composed by Amilcare Ponchielli. Arranged by Erik Cole. Romantic Period. 101 pages. Erik Cole #6498527. Published by Erik Cole (A0.996139).A double reed transcription of the Dance of the Hours from La Gioconda, made famous by Disney's Fantasia. The "Night" section has been cut, as it's the least famous and included many string techniques that weren't very practical for winds to mimic, but it is otherwise true to the original. The 3rd parts are significantly easier than the others, but it is a challenging piece to take up to tempo, regardless. All oboe and bassoon parts are divisi. I was pleasantly surprised at how well almost all of it worked, especially after lowering the key to an easier C/F major which suits the oboe/bassoon range much better. The numerous rubatos/tempo changes were tough to accurately portray in a multi-track recording done to a click track, but I thought it generally came out well without too many inconsistencies. It's a very fun piece to play if your group is up to the challenge.
