By Henry Mancini. By Nino Rota. Arranged by Rita Arendz. Film/TV,Romantic Period. Brass Band. 40 pages. Rita Arendz #6682653. Published by Rita Arendz (A0.1001558).The tragic romance of Romeo and Juliet dates from before Shakespeare's 1597 dramatic play. Since then, the story has been adapted for opera, musicals, and film.
In the late 1870's Tchaikovsky toyed with the idea of an opera. He completed a Fantasy Overture, and later on, sketched the Duet between the two lovers. A tragedy in itself, Tchaikovsky never finished his opera.
Almost 100 years later, Franco Zeffirelli directed a film version where Giovanni Rota Rinaldi (Nino Rota) created the musical score in 1968. The most notable segment is the Love Theme sung by the troubadour during the masked ball where Romeo and Juliet first meet.
This setting is based on the timeless innocence of Rinaldi's writing of the Love Theme and makes reference to the passionate duet of Tchaikovksy, with Juliet played by the Tenor Horn and Romeo by the Euphonium. As Shakespeare wrote in Twelfth Night, "if music be the food of love, play on!"
Scored for the smaller British Brass Band with a minimum of 9 parts up to full band. Duration ~4:25. 40 Pages.
