Morning Serenade and Public Merrymaking from Romeo and Juliet

Frederic Chiu’s Latest Transcriptions

 

A fresh accent to the already wonderful 10-piece suite arranged by Prokofiev himself, Frederic Chiu’s arrangement of Public Merrymaking (Village Dance) follows the composer’s own example of arranging the form and voicing to translate to solo piano. 

PLUS - Another scene from the original orchestral ballet, Morning Serenade, which appears at the end of the ballet, when Juliet is confronted by her parents, who try to cajole her into an arranged marriage with music and dance.
