Italian in Algiers - Gioachino Rossini arr. Lucien Cailliet (PMI 2012 Finale Concert)

[@dipanddoop2387]

The fact that they learned this in a week is astounding.

[@light2pink]

This is very well put together!

[@Timlinthomasp]

I played this as a student and conducted as a band director. You will make it and you will play it. You will very hard and show them what you're really made of! After you play it in concert you will shivers up and down your spine. Why? Because you either defeated the evil Rossini or you have no heat in the auditorium.....

[@g.rossini1723]

Evil?

[@Timlinthomasp]

Hahahah. any composer who writes that many fast notes and scales and gets transcribed for band and high school takes them on. that's evil. it was a joke and they loved it.

me guta ta buenísimó 😃

[@g.rossini1723]

Where are the strings?

[@KIKAALEGRIA]

It's a Concert Band Arrangement . The Strings are in Orchestra Class playing something different ....lol

[@g.rossini1723]

without strings they sound like a fucking mariachi band

[@abeque64]

Are you an ignorant in music? It's a Concert Band (just winds and percussion).

[@g.rossini1723]

I'm aware of what a concert band is. This overture sounds bad in this format.

[@jamiepennach3016]

G. Rossini if this sounds "bad" you are absolutely out of your mind

[@janekeeler7001]

It gives me great pleasure to hear this music played by an excellent band!

[@jacrooki9560]

the composer is disappointed :(
