Giuseppe
Verdi
La Forza del Destino
arranged for percussion ensemble
by Luke Aylsworth
This percussion ensemble
arrangement of Verdi's famed overture to La Forza del
Destino ("The Force of Destiny") makes for
a very exciting piece that explores the classical music possibilities
of the modern percussion ensemble. It can be performed with 13
or 14 players and would work equally well in a concert performance,
or in an indoor "arena style" performance.
"La Forza"
provides a wonderful opportunity to perform and discuss the format
and form of an opera overture. The piece incorporates several
musical styles that range from fast and technically demanding
passages to lyrical, sustained melodies.
La Forza del Destino
comes with a full, bound score and includes individual parts for
printing from an included CD-Rom.
