Triqui-Traqui Tritsch-Tratsch make over Concert Band - Sheet Music

SKU: BF.BM1100-SET

Paul Desenne (1959) is a Venezuelan cellist and composer, whose composition style fuses elements from native Latin American and European music. He studied cello and composition at the 'Conservatoire National Supérieur de Paris'. After his time in Paris, he went on to join the 'Símon Bolívar Symphony Orchestra' and eventually became El Sistema's resident composer and founder of the 'Simón Bolívar Youth Orchestra'. For the 'Símon Bolívar Symphony Orchestra' and their conductor Gustavo Dudamel, Paul Desenne composed in 2016 'Triqui-Traqui', a make-over' of Johann Strauss' beloved 'Tritsch-Tratsch Polka'. 'Triqui-Traqui' gives you the idea as if you are walking in a South American city and music is playing: on the one hand you hear Strauss' 'Tritsch-Tratsch Polka' and on the other hand the music that is so typical for South America. Like in a competition, they compete for the most attention but in the end, it seems that Strauss has won (or maybe not?).The Luxembourg arranger Steve Boehm has arranged 'Triqui-Traqui' for Symphonic Band. A welcome addition to the traditional New Year's repertoire. But these South American sounds would also fit perfect in a summer concert.
