About this item
L'Arlésienne is one of the most attractive pre-impressionistic works, characterized by French charm, humor and temperament. Starting with the Marche des rois (Prélude), moving through the dreamy Adagietto to the Carillon and the Farandole - this suite simply carries the listeners and even the musicians along. Now student and amateur orchestras can experience this wonderful music with all its refinements.
Our version includes primarily the 1st Suite, supplemented by the Farandole from the 2nd Suite (composed by Bizet's friend E. Guiraud). The Andante with the charming saxophone solo from the Prélude is included as a separate Intermezzo.
- The string arrangement can be played with bass or additional violoncello.
- Additional wind parts include C I / II, B-flat I / II, E-flat I / II, C-bass. Parts in E-flat are also available for French horn in F (can be obtained for free above or in the download section). Solo parts for alto saxophone may also be played with clarinet or viola.
- Percussion parts can include: timpani, tambourin de Provence (or tom-tom) and snare drum.
- Piano score and optional ostinato voice (for piano or harp) for the Carillon are added.

Composer
Georges Bizet (1838-1875)
Georges Bizet (25 October 1838 – 3 June 1875) was a French composer whose best-known work is the opera Carmen, which became one of the most popular and frequently-performed works in the entire opera repertory. Bizet, who had struggled for recognition through most of his professional life, died three months after Carmen's first performance, unaware that his final stage work was to prove a spectatcular success.
