1170 Classical Essentials 5 - Mozart: Serenade for 13 Wind Instruments

Welcome to the 5th edition of Classical Essentials.  This show is made possible thanks to a generous donation from Dennis Loeffel. Orchestrating for an entire symphony orchestra is no simple task.  There are very few great orchestrator’s  throughout the history of classical music.   Yes, there are many great composers, but being a great composer doesn’t make you a great orchestrator. Orchestration is giving your music a voice in the orchestra.  Knowing not only what range each instrument can play, what tone the instrument can give you, but also knowing what combinations of instruments can give you  the sound you wish.  Also you must know how the voices in each section work together. Mozart’s Serenade for 13 Wind Instruments in B-flat Major, K. 361 is a prime example of Mozart’s mastery of the orchestra’s wind section.  This work is often known as “Gran Partita” which is actually a misspelling not written in Mozart’s own hand. In this performance, by the wind section of the CMD Grand Opera Company of Venice, uses the original orchestrations by Mozart: 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassett horns, 4 horns and a double bass. You can download this spectacular performance for free at CMDEssentials.com.  Again, we wish to thank Dennis Loeffel for making this extraordinary performance free to the world.
