Dukas (arr. Melicharek) - Fanfare pour predecer La Peri (Flute Choir)
The music for the ballet "La Peri" was composed by Paul Dukas in 1911 and is considered to be his final published work. He wrote it as a "Poème danse en un tableau" (dance poem in one act), and preceded it with this fanfare, originally composed for brass ensemble. This arrangement for flute choir captures the spirit of the original work, and would make a great opening fanfare for any concert.
