This high-spirited, advanced intermediate, large chamber ensemble digital download arrangement of Gioacchino Rossini's "Overture" from his operatic dramma giocoso L'Italiana in Algieri is a perennial favorite for wind players. Written at the end of the Classical Era, it is perfect for recitals, contests, competitions, graduations, special musical events, and educational outreach performances. This lively overture, also called a sinfonia, offers typical Rossini features such as beautiful melodies, spirited rhythms, and, of course, the obligatory "Rossini crescendo." The arrangement was written for college groups and professional ensembles. I hope you enjoy this delightful setting of a Rossini classic.
If you like this arrangement, you might also like my lively and dynamic large chamber ensemble arrangement of George F. Handel's "Arrival of the Queen of Sheba" from his oratorio Solomon. It's available on:
