Galop, from A Voyage to the Moon (string trio – violin, viola and cello)

Title: Galop, from the opera A Voyage to the Moon

Composer: Jacques Offenbach, arr. David Gable

Instrumentation: Violin, Viola and Cello

Printout: 6 pages

Note: Offenbach’s “fairy tale opera” A Voyage to the Moon is loosely based on a novel by Jules Verne. The galop is the rousing conclusion to both the overture and Act III, where it is used to depict a snowstorm.

Arrangements of this galop for string trio of two violins and cello, and for string quartet, are also available.
