About

This arrangement of the much-loved Evening Prayer from the opera by Engelbert Humperdinck for horn octet was first premiered by the horn quartets from the Metropolitan Opera and the Berlin Philharmonic. At the height of Covid in 2020 a recording was made to promote an online concert supporting the musicians of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra. 

This arrangement features a choice between a slow ending reminiscent of the overture, or livelier conclusion that mirrors the finale of the opera.

The recording can be found on YouTube.

Formed as part of the popular Mozart y Mambo project by Sarah Willis of the Berlin Philharmonic, the Sarahbanda explores the captivating Cuban dance rhythms in a way never heard before. How? By featuring an instrument not typically included in traditional Cuban band music — the French horn. The sound of Sarah's horn combined with Cuban grooves played by some of Cuba's most talented musicians creates an exciting and passionate group unlike any other. With their exclusive new arrangements of some of Cuba’s best-known songs such as Chan Chan and Sandunguera, original compositions by members of the band, and some classical-meets-Cuban surprises, the Sarahbanda brings a whole new sound — fresh, innovative, irresistible and one you simply have to get up and dance to!
