Program Notes
Nutcracker Sweets is an arrangement for soloist of five of the most popular movements from Tchaikovsky’s beloved Nutcracker Ballet Suite. The movements included are: Overture, Waltz of the Flowers, March, Arabian Dance, and Trepak. After a brief introduction, the dances are presented, one-by-one, with brief transitional passages linking all together to form a continuous, but not disjointed, whole.
The concert band version premiered December, 2010 with Neal Corwell as soloist, accompanied by the Hagerstown Municipal Band, Lynn Lerew conducting, in Clear Spring, Maryland.
- Program Note by publisher
Nutcracker Sweets (2010) is an arrangement of Nutcracker Suite for symphonic band and
euphonium solo. The solo part is a virtuosic show of technical and lyrical ability. The solo adds
another layer of excitement and interest while still staying true to the original piece.
Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite is a piece of music that uses selections from his ballet simply
titled The Nutcracker. This suite has become one of Tchaikovsky’s most famous works, and is his
most widely performed piece of music. It has also become a standard part of holiday literature, and
is a favorite for winter concerts.
