RIMSKY-KORSAKOV Procession of the Nobles (Arr. Merle J. Isaac)  

TCHAIKOVSKY Romeo & Juliet Fantasy Overture 

Rimsky-Korsakov’s Procession of the Nobles begins with a festival of tradespeople. The music bursts to life with a rousing brass flourish, soon followed by the processional music, a noble tune for strings, and a rousing close of energy and color. Arguably one of his most beloved works next to the Nutcracker and his first Piano Concerto, Tchaikovsky’s fantasy overture packs Shakespear’s love-soaked Romeo and Juliet tragedy into a passionate 20-minute homage to his own life’s ups and downs. The beloved work features iconic brass fanfares, and many recognizable melodies used in countless movies and cartoons including A Christmas Story and the 1996 version of Romeo & Juliet starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes.
