Program Notes

Rimsky-Korsakov composed "The Spanish Capriccio"(Capriccio Espagnol, Op. 34) during the summer of 1887. The bold and daring excitement of the work transfers very effectively to the concert band genre. Calvin Custer keeps technical demands to a minimum while maximizing the conviction and vigor of this highly creative scoring.

- Program Note from publisher


Capriccio espagnol, Op. 34, is the common Western title for a five movement orchestral suite, based on Spanish folk melodies, composed by the Russian composer Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov in 1887. Rimsky-Korsakov originally intended to write the work for a solo violin with orchestra, but later decided that a purely orchestral work would do better justice to the lively melodies.
