Hamlet - Wind Band

Wind Band - This Hamlet Overture, a concert piece in sonata form written in 1861, represents a genre that flourished during the Romantic era. It is a type of symphonic tone poem, a programmatic composition based on a literary subject. Emotionally dramatic and thematically coherent, the overture can be interpreted as a direct evocation of Shakespeare's play or as a purely musical experience.
