Overture from Tannhäuser (Optional Orgel) Wagners Overture from Tannhauser is one of the great works of the repertoire. It begins with the solemn and sacred Pilgrims Chorus. The music becomes more and more fervent and yearning, exploding into the great climax of the Chorus. This wonderful 4-minute arrangement for Brass Quintet and Organ (optional) by Damiano Drei is an abridged version of the overture and is appropriate for advanced performers. Instrumentation is for 2 C Trumpets, Horn in F, Trombone, Tuba, and Organ (optional).
