The Sorcerer's Apprentice" by Paul Dukas ( 1865 - 1935 ) - arranged for Brass Quartet by Scott Ramsey.

Most younger poeple thinks that this piece was written for Disneys animated movie "Fantasia", starring Mickey Mouse, but obviously the numbers don´t add up, and Dukas was actually inspired by one of Goethe´s poems - just like so many other famous composers. It was actually normal practise to read the poem out loud, when performing this piece.Scott´s arrangement is challenging in many ways - it´s a hard piece to arrange because it is animated in it self, but every ordiance is going to smile when they hear the theme.
