Description

Richard Wagner (1813-1883)

Entry of the guests into the Wartburg (from the opera “Tannhäuser”)

Arr.: Stephan Ametsbichler

An impressive opening piece in which woodwinds and brass are equally challenged. Introductory trumpet fanfares accompanied by rushing triplet staccatos in the clarinet register lead into the solemn, hymn-like entry of the opera chorus (“Freudig begrüßen wir die edle Halle”). With this magnificent highlight from Richard Wagner’s oeuvre, you can conjure up the splendor of the Bayreuth Festival in your concert hall.
