Product Description

An original work inspired by the wonderful modern-day silent film The Artist, this short overture pays an affectionate tribute to the magic of Hollywood silent film music. A majestic, sweeping scale ushers in themes for the lonely heroine and her dashing soldier, who has gone off to war The bustle of the big city emerges and is soon interrupted by marching feet, signalling the return of the troops our hero cant be seen, has he perished? At last, he appears and the lovers are reunited (this is Hollywood, after all!) leading to a reprise of the opening and, of course, a big finish. This short, characterful piece lasts around 5 minutes and would be suitable for intermediate bands, perhaps in a concert of film music with silent film images projected.
