Tchaikovsky
Andante Cantabile
From Symphony No. 5
Arranged by William Rich
This arrangement received its premier
at the 2007 International Youth Music
Week at a 900
year old castle in Graz, Austria conducted by Gerard Poot. After a somber beginning in the lower
strings, there is a beautiful horn solo soon taken up by the strings; then the
soaring second theme is presented interspersed with allegro quotes from the
first movement leads to a grand orchestral climax.
