Product Description

This arrangement of Charles Gounod's Funeral March of a Marionette has been meticulously adapted for Woodwind Quintet, capturing all the dark irony and peculiar charm of the original piece while remaining accessible to developing musicians. Perfect for Halloween performances, themed concerts, or as a study piece, this work offers a unique combination of macabre humor and musical elegance, ideal for both beginning chamber music students and teachers seeking engaging repertoire. Famous for its association with the classic Alfred Hitchcock Presents show, the composition carries a mysterious and playful atmosphere that will surely delight audiences. Originally written for piano, this Romantic gem preserves in our arrangement its characteristic floating melody and striking rhythms, now adapted to sound naturally expressive in the woodwind quintet format - whether for school performances, community presentations, or musical appreciation. Balancing faithfulness to the original with pedagogical adaptation, the piece works equally well as a study exercise and concert number, offering an enchanting contrast for Halloween collections with its unique blend of lightness and darkness. The upcoming arrangements in the series will bring more exciting surprises for your ensemble.
