Overture in the Classical Style (Grade 2.5) by L. C. Harnsberger

L. C. Harnsberger’s Overture in the Classical Style is a new composition for young orchestra written in the style of the great classical composers Haydn, Schubert, and Beethoven. After a short slow introduction, the music bursts into a fast Allegro that features infectious melodies that you will soon be humming. The driving rhythms and interesting harmonies make the piece fun to play and hear.

Overture in the Classical Style is perfectly written for younger ensembles with attention to instrument ranges, rhythms, and effective doublings. The piece is fully scored so your entire group gets to play including a full percussion section. There are also optional parts for two alto saxes, tenor sax, baritone sax, alto clarinet, bass clarinet, and baritone TC. The optional parts conveniently double the horns, bassoons, and trombone 2.

Overture in the Classical Style is the perfect piece to open or close the next concert, contest, or festival featuring your young orchestra.
