Bravo Music Inc Thais: Selections from the Opera - Massenet/Shishikura - Concert Band - Gr. 6
Additional Photos:
Composer: Jules Massenet
Arranger: Koh Shishikura
Format: Score and Parts
Instrumentation: Concert Band
Level: 6
The opera "Thais" was completed in 1893. The premiere was not so well received, and after several years a Massenet revision found greater flavor. This is a love story where emotions sway between 'saintly' and 'secular' hopes of the monk Athanael, who strongly wants to convert the courtesan Thais, who lives a life of abandon.
This arrangement consists of four main scenes. The final is the same as the end of the original opera, the reunion of Thais and Athanael. Thais trying to ascend to heaven and Athanael confessing his forbidden love are accompanied by the melody of "Meditation" and the sensual harmonies leading to the work's climax.
