If you do a Google (or other) web search on Beatrice and Benedict
you'll find plenty to read. If you do the same search on http://www.towerrecords.com - pick Classical Title to do your search on - you'll find multiple recordings. I imagine http://www.amazon.com will have also, although I didn't check there. -S- > -----Original Message----- > From: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > du] On Behalf Of Benjamin Reidhead > Sent: Saturday, June 03, 2006 11:40 PM > To: horn@music.memphis.edu > Subject: [Hornlist] Berlioz: Overture "Beatrice and Benedict" > > Hello - > > I recieved the orchestral excerpt for the Colorado > All-State Orchestra audition today, and it is an excerpt I > have never heard of: > Hector Berlioz's "Overture: Beatrice and Benedict".
