Publisher Desc.  In 1857, Wagner took a 12-year break during the composition of his music-drama "Siegfried" and in a letter to Otto Wesendonck wrote, "I have laid [Siegfried] under a linden tree." Forest Murmurs represents that exact point in time. Ted Vives has skillfully transcribed this orchestral excerpt for concert band, retaining all the richness and beauty of the setting. Beautiful solo passages for flute, oboe, and clarinet remain intact to feature your "star" players. A great concert or contest work for medium to advanced high school programs and well as college and community ensembles.
