Product Description
Among the most noteworthy works by Clément Philibert Léo Delibes are two ballets, Coppélia (1870) and Sylvia (1876). Delibes based the latter on a Aminta, a play written by Torquato Tasso three centuries earlier, and it is populated by characters such as Eros, Diana, Orion, as well as Aminta and, of course, Sylvia. The third act opens in the forest with a celebration of the wine vintage, the "Grand cortège de Bacchus" ("March and Procession of Bacchus"). The March is exciting and brassy (enough so that the 1982-1986 television series, Knight Rider, used it for a musical theme!). The "Procession" is more song-like but ends with a big restatement of the "March".
Completed in 2012, this arrangement runs about 6 minutes, 50 seconds. The arranger, Les
