Whilst the main plot of his 1739 opera <i>Dardanus<\/i> was so absurd (a convoluted love story with sea monsters, magicians and dream sequences) that it had to be extensively re-written after its premiere, the prologue, following a Lullian convention, is a straightforward allegory rooted in classical mythology. Cupid banishes Jealousy, but Love can\u2019t survive without her\u2014Cupid and the Pleasures fall into a deep sleep, and Venus has to recall Jealousy to bring them all back to life. The classic \u2018French\u2019 <i>Ouverture<\/i>, with its grandiose dotted-rhythm opening giving way to a compelling energetic movement, is a musical highlight of the opera; and as the mortals pay homage to Cupid through dance, Rameau\u2019s ballet music, for which he was rightly renowned, is especially colourful\u2014demonstrating the revolutionary use of harmony, melodic and rhythmic quirks, and range of emotional expression that conservative \u2018Lullistes\u2019 found so grotesque. It was common practice in Rameau\u2019s time to produce a suite of ballet movements from operas to perform in concert, and this collection also contains three such movements from the main opera: the sorrowful <i>Entr\u00e9e d\u2019Iphise<\/i>, the martial <i>Entr\u00e9e pour les Guerriers<\/i>, and the <i>Sommeil de Dardanus<\/i> (inexplicably he falls asleep next to a monster) in which Rameau vividly depicts the hero\u2019s snoring.<\/p>\n<p>Matthew Knight<\/p>\n<p>Parts included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Score<\/li>\n<li>Trumpet in E-flat<\/li>\n<li>Trumpet 1 in B-flat<\/li>\n<li>Trumpet 2 in B-flat<\/li>\n<li>Trombone 1<\/li>\n<li>Trombone 2<\/li>\n<li>Trombone 3 (Bass)<\/li>\n<li>Tuba<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\">Purchasing this product entitles you to download it three times.
