Badinerie de Bach

"Ode to Joy" is the choral finale of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony which was written between 1817 and 1823--when Beethoven was losing his hearing.  By the time it was first performed, on May 7, 1824, Beethoven was totally deaf and could not conduct it.  He stood next to the conductor to direct the tempo but was unable to hear the audience applause at the end.  The poem Beethoven used for his choral finale was written by Schiller

This is the finale of Rossini's William Tell Overture. This section is also known as "March of the Swiss Soldiers." The popular rhythmic pattern is commonly associated with galloping horses both in cartoons and in real life.

This digital arrangement was based on the original score. Instrumentation consists of a piccolo, a flute, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, four french horns, two trumpets, three trombones, timpani, a triangle, cymbals, and section strings.

All parts were recorded using EastWest/Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra.
