Composed by Georges Bizet. Arranged by Armin Terzer. Opera,Romantic Period. Score and parts. 259 pages. Armin Terzer #5048273. Published by Armin Terzer (A0.942170).This arrangement for full orchestra of the famous Bizet opera "Carmen" strings together all the major (and some of the secondary) themes into a 20-minute medley:
- Prelude (Introduction to Act 1 "Les Toreadors" & Prelude to Act 1)
- Chorus of the Street Boys (Act 1 "Le garde montante")
- Habanera
- Song and Recitative
- Seguidilla and Duet (Act 1 "Seguedille")
- Finale (Act 1 Finale)
- Act II: Entr'acte (Prelude to Act 2 "Les dragons d’Alcala")
- Gypsy Song (Act 2 "Danse Boheme")
- Toreador Song (Act 2 "Chanson du Toreador")
- Act III: Entr'acte (Prelude to Act 3 "Intermezzo")
- Sextet and Chorus (Introduction to Act 3 "Marche des contrebandiers")
- Air (Act 3 "Nocturne")
- Act IV: Entr'acte (Prelude to Act 4 "Aragonaise")
- March and Chorus
– Finale (Act 4 "Procession of the Toreadors")
All the themes featured in the two orchestral suites by Ernest Guiraud are included. There are, however, major differences:
- the themes appear in chronological order (like in the opera)
- there are no distinct "movements", this is a 20-minute romp featuring tune after tune
- most parts, especially repetitive songs, are abridged to varying degrees
- where appropriate, sections seamlessly segue into the next
- the major tunes (Les Toreadors, Gypsy Song, Toreador Song) allow for applause afterwards
- the orchestration follows the original (double woodwinds, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, harp, timpani and 3 percussion, strings) with minimal changes to compensate for missing vocal lines
Further cuts are possible and easy to make due to the clearly marked sections. This arrangement is meant to rival the orchestral suites in excitement and colours - but in a more organic/continuous format. It is ideal for any level orchestra (intermediate+) in any kind of setting.
