L�o Delibes’ (1836-1891) Copp�lia (1870) is a comic ballet that tells the story of a sinister doctor who has made a beautiful, life-sized dancing doll (the title character) and the young man who becomes infatuated with the doll, setting aside his heart’s true desire, his fianc�. One of Delibes’ ballets that helped to redefine the importance of music in the art form, Copp�lia remains a standard part of the ballet repertoire. This edition’s score by William McDermott was copied from the original manuscript, with horns transposed to F and clarinets and trumpets transposed to A and B flat. The winds have been written into the score one pair per staff (and one pair per part in the parts) to facilitate cross-cueing in smaller orchestra. Instrumentation: 2(2nd dPicc).2.2.2: 4.2+Crnt(2).3.1: Timp.Perc(3-4): Hp: Str (4-4-3-3-3 in set).
