A dream becomes reality: finally school and amateur orchestras can play this fantastic music! In this new arrangement, each piece still displays its distinctive elements. Despite shortening as well as instrumental and technical simplification the original sound is maintained. From the Prelude (taken from the ouverture) to the Scherzetto and Notturno to the Rüpeltanz variable and challenging selections await the musicians - to say nothing of the Wedding march, which brings new life to the presentation with its interesting harmony.
Our arrangement can be played by string orchestras with contrabass or with a 2nd cello. The 1st violin must occasionally play in the 3rd position, but the 2nd and 3rd violins as well as viola remain in the 1st position. Difficult stretches are simplified retaining the original tones. Prelude and Scherzetto require a degree of practice and experience in rapid tempi; the other pieces are simple to learn.
As many as eight different wind instruments can add color. Two flutes, a clarinet, a trumpet (or 2nd clarinet) form the core; in addition, two saxophones or other horns as well as 2 bass instruments (trombone, bassoon, tuba) are possible. Not all winds are required, as the strings always provide the harmonic and melodic framework.The piano score is a pleasure for every somewhat experienced pianist, especially the chance to accompany Zettel's song alone. The Song of the Elves can be performed as an instrumental or with choral (soprano and alto) accompaniment.
