Description:

Hector Berlioz (1803-1869) completed Le Carnaval Romain, Op. 9 (Roman Carnival Overture) in 1843, with the premiere performance taking place on February 3rd, 1844 at the Salle Herz in Paris. Written as a stand-alone ouverture caractéristique for concert performance, it borrows themes from Berlioz’ failed opera Benvenuto Cellini, including the opera’s carnival scene with its saltarello dance rhythm, which is why the overture includes that in the title. The exciting work includes a famous English Horn solo and is a favorite among brass players. Instrumentation: 2(2nd dPicc).2(2nd dEH).2.2: 4.2+2.3.0: Timp.Perc(4): Str(9-8-7-6-5 in set).
