Frederic Curzon’s Simonetta is a serenade for orchestra by one of the best-known English light-music composers, who also worked as an organist and conductor and headed the light music department of a leading London publisher. It runs about four minutes and is scored for theatre orchestra, with parts for woodwind including saxophones, horns, trumpets, trombone, triangle or vibraphone, and strings. This makes it practical for light orchestras, pops programmes, and concert openers or encores. Compact and tuneful, this score and set of parts offers ensembles an appealing addition to the British light-music repertoire.
