Product Description

A wind decet (plus double bass) arrangement by Philip Le Bas of "La Boutique Fantasque" ("The Fantastic Toyshop") by G. Rossini and orchestrated by O. Respighi. Actually, "fantasque" in French means fanciful, whimsical or even magical, and the original score is a wonderful set of pieces forming a ballet concerning a toyshop owner who creates cleverly moving puppets. In this arrangement five sections are chosen to make a chamber suite: 1) Overture 2) Mazurka 3) Tarentella 4) Pastorale 5) Can-Can The ballet is full of fun, ending with the puppets seeing off customers who want to separate two of the Can-Can dancers who are in love with each other. Think toyshop and you will understand the marching toy soldiers of the Overture, the dancing dolls of the Mazurka, the hide-and-seek chases of the Tarentella (originally a dance to ward off the tarantula), the cuddly warmth of the Pastorale, and the craziness of the Can-Can! Optional percussion (triangle, plus anything that can be bashed) has here been scored in the final movement to add to the general riotousness...
