Description
Cinderella is an ambitious addition to the canon of Roald Dahl music commissions. It is principally scored for young players and singers, but there is also an optional “add-on” professional ensemble element. The work has been designed to be uniquely flexible to the requirements of schools and youth orchestras and can be presented in a variety of forms – from choruses with narrator and piano, to the full version with professional ensemble, string orchestra and flexiband.
