Description
Taken from the opera Samson and Delilah, the Bacchanale is the ultimate musical celebration. Gordon’s arrangement for brass band captures the exotic, frenetic energy and technical brilliance of the original orchestral score. It is a tour-de-force for the entire ensemble, featuring rapid-fire articulations and a relentless drive toward a spectacular finale. It is a guaranteed “showstopper” for any concert program.
