MINI-SCORE
‘Die schweigsame Frau’ (The Silent Woman), is an opera in three acts by Richard Strauss to a libretto by Stefan Zweig. Strauss gave the overture the subtitle ‘potpourri’. The term denotes a medley of popular nineteenth-century melodies, ones that brass and coffee-house bands would have typically performed in Strauss’s day. Nevertheless, Strauss’s overture has little in common really with these; his motifs are brief fragments of melodies, and are often juxtaposed in a masterfully elaborated polyphonic fabric. Dutch arranger Christiaan Janssen transcribed this ‘potpourri’ of ‘Die schweigsame Frau’ for Symphonic Band.
