About this item
This version is reasonably faithful to Verdi's original orchestration and is not simplified other than providing modern transposing parts (horns in F, trumpets in Bb etc.). The piccolo part is a small one and may be dispensed with. The chorus can be omitted as all their notes are doubled in the orchestra. If a chorus is used it can be mixed, all male or all female. One chorus part is included in a set of parts, extras cost ú1 each.

Composer
Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901)
Giuseppe Fortunino Francesco Verdi (10 October 1813 – 27 January 1901) was an Italian Romantic composer, mainly of opera. He was one of the most influential composers of the 19th century. His works are frequently performed in opera houses throughout the world and, transcending the boundaries of the genre, some of his themes have long since taken root in popular culture – such as "La donna è mobile" from Rigoletto, "Va, pensiero" (The Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves) from Nabucco, "Libiamo ne' lieti calici" (The Drinking Song) from La traviata and the "Grand March" from Aida. His work has sometimes been criticized for using a generally diatonic rather than a chromatic musical idiom and for being essentially melodrama during his early years.
Verdi’s masterworks dominate the standard repertoire a century and a half after their composition.
