Incidental music most commonly appears between acts of a stage play or even between movements of a large-scale musical work. Even so, such pieces have often become perennial hits, such as Mendelssohn's classic Wedding March (also from A Midsummer Night's Dream).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Intermezzo\u003c\/strong\u003e (Allegro appassionato) follows Act II and expresses one's crazed search for a bewitched lover. According to Mendelssohn's notes in the score, Hernia seeks Lysander and loses herself in the wood. Although Intermezzo will never compete with Wedding March on the Hit Parade, it possesses a mystical, magical quality that presents unique challenges when performed in the percussion arena. Brian Slawson's percussion arrangement is both subtle and challenging and brings a unique way for modern mallet ensembles to recreate Mendelssohn's magic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the \u003cstrong\u003eprinted score\u003c\/strong\u003e you are receiving downloadable:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e✅\u003cstrong\u003e Individual Parts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e✅\u003cstrong\u003e Full Recording\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/42776684\u0026amp;color=%23ffab41\u0026amp;auto_play=false\u0026amp;hide_related=true\u0026amp;show_comments=false\u0026amp;show_user=false\u0026amp;show_reposts=false\u0026amp;show_teaser=false\" height=\"166\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 10px; color: #cccccc; line-break: anywhere; word-break: normal; overflow: hidden; white-space: nowrap; text-overflow: ellipsis; font-family: Interstate,Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Sans,Garuda,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif; font-weight: 100;\"\u003e\n\u003ca style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" title=\"Tapspace\" href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/tapspacepublications\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" title=\"Intermezzo from A Midsummer Night's Dream (Mendelssohn; arr.
