Prophetic Trumpets: Wind and Wind-Chorus Music by Franz Liszt and Richard Wagner (Franz Liszt Studies Series)

Franz Liszt s and Richard Wagner s works for wind instruments and wind ensembles of various kinds, as well as for winds and voices in various combinations, epitomize much of nineteenth-century musical romanticism. From ceremonial and religious works to compositions for court occasions, from the concert hall to the operatic stage, Wagner s and Liszt s wind and wind-voice music offers insights into each composer s stylistic evolution as well as the emergence of the symphonic poem and music-drama as genres in their own right.
