Product Description

The "Cancan" by Jacques Offenbach is an iconic musical piece that is part of his operetta "Orpheus in the Underworld" (Orphée aux enfers), premiered in 1858. This work is a satire of Greek mythology and a critique of the society of its time.
The "Cancan" is especially famous for its energetic and cheerful rhythm, and it has become synonymous with the French dance of the same name, characterized by its acrobatic movements and the famous high kick. Offenbach's music perfectly captures the festive and carefree spirit of the cancan, and it has been used in countless productions and adaptations since its creation.
The operetta itself is a masterpiece of humor and parody, with characters from Greek mythology behaving in very human and often ridiculous ways. The "Cancan" piece appears in the second act, during a scene in the underworld, and is one of the most memorable and vibrant moments of the work.
Arranger's Note:
This version is specially designed for student orchestras. It includes a few simplified passages while maintaining the musical spirit of the original score, adding reinforcement in some sections to ensure it retains its original strength even if there are fewer performers than usual for this type of work. Additionally, extra indications have been added to help the developing musician gain a better understanding of the piece. All of this is done with the utmost respect for the author. The dynamic and tempo indications are not originals and are for guidance purposes only.
