Description:
Shakespeare's verse in this famous comedy, “If music be the food of love, play on...” sets the tone for this major work by master composer Alfred Reed. Approached as a masque (a form of play-with-music commonly used in Shakespeare's time), this suite for wind orchestra takes the form of five separate movements, each related to a place or persons from the story. • I. Prelude: Illyria • II. Viola and Orsino • III. The Merry Conspirators • IV. Malvolio's Lament in “Prison” • V. A Double Wedding, and All's Well! – (duration - c. 15:00)
Difficulty: 4-5
