The Allegretto from Beethoven's 7th Symphony
Publisher Desc.
Arranged in 2013 this arrangement of Beethoven's work encapsulates the mood that this piece is characterized as being a dance piece often without melody but with constant forward motion that the piece portrays. The song starts very soft and builds gradually with the volume and number of instruments playing slowly increasing until it peeks to the climax when all the instruments play the repeated ostinato - a reoccurring rhythmic figure of quarter note two eighth notes and two quarter notes. The movement has been made a popular recent hit due to its usage in the 2010 movie The Kings Speech starring Colin Firth Helena Bonham Carter and Geoffrey Rush.This is a great piece for the more advanced concert band that shows the skill and control of each instrumental section. Care should be taken not to take it too slow and also the playing of full length notes is imperative where indicated.
