In 1876 Giacomo Puccini (1858-1924) composed his Preludio in Mi minore' which became later known as the Preludio a Orchestra'. It's Puccini's first surviving work and through its original treatment of form and the conscious use of orchestral colors, it allows a glimpse of the composer who would later become a master of the operatic stage. Dutch arranger Jos van de Braak transcribed this Preludio a Orchestra' for a Symphonic Band.
