The famous theme from Purcell's Rondeau (also well-known from Britten's use in The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra) is expertly arranged to engage all sections of the orchestra while staying true to the original. A perfect addition at any point in the concert without overly taxing the orchestra, yet still offering a tremendous sound. (1:45).
