Product Description

This piece is probably Handels best-known melody and it began life as an operatic aria. The opera was named Xerxes, sometimes written as Serses and pronounced something like ZERT-sees. It was commissioned by The Kings Theatre in London and composed around 1737 and 1738, after Handel had become naturalized British and taken up residence in London. The opera is set in Persia (modern-day Iran) about 470 BC and is loosely based upon the real historical figure of King Xerxes I of Persia.

The opera was something of a disaster when it was first performed in 1738. Ironically, it has since become one of Handels most popular operas, partly because the features which 18th-century listeners found so disconcerting, such as the touches of comedy and the short arias are appealing to modern audiences.

This new arrangement by Colin Kirkpatrick for brass quintet is intended for players of high school standard, and all the notes are kept within easy range. All the instruments take part of the melody line at some point. The single PDF file contains the full score, introductory notes and separate large-print parts for Trumpet 1, Trumpet 2, Horn in F, Horn in E flat, Trombone and Tuba. This is an effective and easy-to-perform arrangement which should prove popular with brass players and audiences alike.

This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters. ArrangeMe allows for the publication of unique arrangements of both popular titles and original compositions from a wide variety of voices and backgrounds.
