Ravel's ballet, Daphnis and Chloé, was commissioned by Sergei Diaghilev and premiered with the Ballets Russes in Paris in 1912. The ballet is now rarely performed, but its Suite No. 2 remains popular. It consists of three movements, Lever du jour, Pantomime and Danse générale, that are played without interruption. Tohru Takahashi makes no compromises in his transcription, which calls for at least 60 musicians and an optional mixed chorus!De Suite Nr. 2 uit Daphnis and Chloe bevat de muziek uit het derde deel van het ballet en bestaat uit de delen Lever du jour, Pantomime en Danse générale. Zonder onderbreking worden deze na elkaar gespeeld.In zijn nieuwe transcriptie voor blaasorkest deed Tohru Takahashi geen enkele concessie. Om het werk precies volgens de partituur uit te voeren, hebt u een orkestbezetting van zestig of meer muzikanten nodig. Een gemengd kooris ook wenselijk, maar dankzij de stichnoten (cue notes) is het werk ook zonder koor uit te voeren.Die Suite Nr. 2 aus Daphnis and Chloe enthält die Musik aus dem dritten Teil des Balletts und besteht aus den drei Sätzen Lever du jour, Pantomime und Danse générale, die ohne Unterbrechung nacheinander gespielt werden. In seiner neuen Blasorchester-Transkription ging Tohru Takahashi keinerlei Kompromisse ein. Um das Werk gemä� der Partitur aufzuführen, ist eine Orchesterstärke von 60 oder mehr Musikern, sowie ein gemischter Chor erforderlich; dank der Stichnoten ist es auch ohne Chor spielbar.La Suite n°2 correspond au troisième tableau du ballet Daphnis et Chloé. Lever du jour, Pantomime et Danse générale sont interprétés sans interruption. Cette nouvelle transcription pour orchestre d'harmonie ne fait aucun compromis. Non seulement il vous faudra réunir un ensemble de 60 musiciens ou plus afin de respecter la partition, mais un choeur mixte est également essentiel. Cependant, si les notes secondaires (ou petites notes) sont jouées par les musiciens, le choeur est alors ad libitum.La Suite Nr. 2 da Daphnis and Chloe contiene la musica della terza parte del balletto. Essa è composta da tre movimenti: Lever du jour, Pantomine e Danse générale, eseguite senza interruzione. Nella sua nuova trascrizione per banda, TohruTakahashi non è sceso a compromessi: per eseguire il brano sono necessari 60 o più musicisti come anche un coro misto. Se però le note secondarie (o piccole te), sono eseguite dai musicisti, il coro diventa ad libitum.

Zarabanda by Enrique Granados comes from his set of 12 Spanish Dances, most often performed on guitar. This third dance, also called a fandango, is particularly well-suited for string orchestra with a beautifully elegant melody and upbeat dance feel, combining the style of flamenco with the classical tradition of the time period. Performers should pay particular attention to articulations, especially the contrasting of staccato with legato bowing. The performance should be fun and light throughout, with an emphasis on the dynamic, melodic, and rhythmic contrast.

The sense of excitement and exhilaration eventually leads to the calm after the storm, as turbulent darkness gives way to light. Dur: 4:40.
