The opera Carmen, perhaps the best known work by Bizet, was firstcriticised in France because of the 'obscene libretto,' but was soonconsidered a masterpiece, partly thanks to the appealing melodies, the Spanish temperament and the lively rhythms. Especially from a musical viewpoint, the lively march Les Toréadors is one of the most popular scenes from Carmen. Tohru Takahahsi was inspired by this catchy music to write a delightful transcription for Concert Band. A true classic that will remain popular with your musicians and audiences.
