Edwin Evans, Senior (1844-1923) was born, lived, and died in London, England. He was one of two to be awarded the first-ever FRCO certificates in 1866. Over his life, he became a master of the art of transcription. The term “light cavalry” refers to minimally-armed and armored troops mounted on horses. Evans’s transcription is of Suppé’s entire overture. It contains themes easily recognized today from cartoons and films and makes an attention-grabbing opening number. This dramatic war horse is in the same league as Rossini’s Overture to William Tell. Difficult.
