R010 Overture - The Barber of Seville - Rossini, G. (PDF DOWNLOAD)

£18.49

This sparkling overture sets the stage for Rossini’s 1816 comic opera, fizzing with energy and full of charm. Among its many arrangements, one enduring favourite is the soundtrack to Bugs Bunny’s antics in The Rabbit of Seville - a Looney Tunes classic that introduced generations to Rossini’s irrepressible wit. No Elmer Fudd or Bugs here, but this bold arrangement for flute choir or flute orchestra - with double-force low flutes and optional contrabass - still bursts with humour and excitement!
