This arrangement was written for Lynne Stukart and the Geneseo High School Concert Band. The famous Habanera from George Bizet's Carmen has been extracted from the ever-popular Carmen Fantasy and crafted into a solo piece with concert band, perfect as an encore! The work opens with a fanfare and cadenza, followed by a statement of the Habanera, followed by the second variation from original. Suitable for bands of all ages, this arrangement features a colorful, yet light accompaniment to this flute solo. A great piece to feature your first chair flute player, or perhaps a guest soloist.
