Overture to Rob Roy - Wind Band

Wind Band - Rob Roy was composed in 1831 and first performed at the Paris Conservatoire on 14 April 1833. The overture was inspired by Sir Walter Scott's novel Rob Roy. Berlioz was never happy with the piece, regarding it as long and diffuse, and withdrew it after the premiere. A plaintive melody for cor anglais would later find prominent use for the solo viola in Harold en Italie.
