Product Description

La Péri is a one-act ballet by the French composer Paul Dukas, best known for The Sorcerer's Apprentice (L'apprenti sorcier) as in the 1940 Disney film Fantasia. Dukas was commissioned to write La Péri by the Ballets Russes, producing a Poème dansé en un tableau ("dance poem in one scene") in 1911; this become his last published work. With Natalia Trouhanova due to play the Peri and Vaslav Nijinsky to play Iskender (the name of Alexander the Great in Persian, who is scouting around Iran in search of the Flower of Immortality), the production was ultimately cancelled because Serge Diaghilev feel Trouhanova was not a skilled enough dancer to be partnered to Nijinsky. Trouhanova later hired Ivan Clustine to choreograph the music, with the ballet premiering at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris on 22 April 1912.

The brilliant fanfare that precedes the ballet is often performed separately and is the arrangement available here. Arranged for the UK-style brass band, it has optional percussion parts as well as alternative parts for horns in F and bass-clef lower brass. The piece has been lowered by a tone compared to the original. A recording of the original composition can be found here on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EDekMos1ok.
