Andante (from Prince Igor )

Description

• Composer: Alexander Borodin
• Arranger: Jack Bullock
• Publisher: Belwin

Alexander Borodin (1833--1887) was a well-known Russian composer, particularly for his opera, Prince Igor. Borodin was in the middle of composing the piece when he suddenly died. Rimsky-Korsakov and another Russian composer, Alexander Glazanov, completed the unfinished score and the opera had its debut in November of 1890. During the overture prelude, a beautiful flowing melody from Act III, entitled "Andante," is an emotional addition to the young band literature. Most musical! This title is available in SmartMusic.
