Marc Oliver for Concert Band","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf \u003cem\u003eCarmen Suite No. 1\u003c\/em\u003e captures the opera’s drama and swagger, \u003cem\u003eCarmen Suite No. 2\u003c\/em\u003e reveals its more intimate and exotic dimensions — a suite of contrasting character pieces that showcase the full range of Bizet’s orchestral imagination. From the sinuous, modal atmosphere of the \u003cem\u003eMarche des contrebandiers\u003c\/em\u003e and the haunting \u003cem\u003eHabanera\u003c\/em\u003e, to the passionate \u003cem\u003eNocturne\u003c\/em\u003e and the electrifying \u003cem\u003eDanse bohème\u003c\/em\u003e, Suite No. 2 is in many ways the more adventurous and colorful of the two suites — a kaleidoscope of mood, rhythm, and melody that holds audiences rapt from first note to last.

The two orchestral suites drawn from its music are among the most vivid and satisfying in the entire operatic repertoire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Arranger\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/6750\/1677\/files\/oliver.jpg?v=1777672456\" alt=\"Marc Oliver\" style=\"max-width:180px;margin:0.75em 1.25em 0.75em 0;float:left;\"\u003eMarc Oliver (1952–2017) was the primary arranger and engraver behind Ayotte Custom Musical Engravings during its founding, bringing decades of expertise in brass, band, and ensemble writing to every score.
