Using original music interwoven with the widely known Rondeau theme from Henry Purcell's "Abdelazer" Suite, this deconstructive show allows for endless possibilities for visual design. With solo opportunities for strong brass players, tasteful percussion writing, and the gradual distortion of a well-known theme, this high-energy, four-movement package will wow both your audience and the judges alike.
