Though left unfinished by the composer before his death, Alexander Borodin's opera Prince Igor lives on in the repertoire thanks to orchestrations by Alexander Glazunov and Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. The overture, a concert favorite of audiences since its posthumous premiere in 1890, is here reworked for wind ensemble. The piece is a collection of arias, duets, and dances from the opera itself, coursing in and out of love themes, marches, and fanfares, all to end in a vibrant flourish. Instrumentation: 2fl+pic/2ob/3cl+Ebcl+bcl+cbcl/4sax/2bn+cbn; 4hn/3tp/3tb/eu/tba; bass; timp. Approx. 10 min.
