Toreador Song

Georges Bizet

For tenor sax and piano

Written in G minor, range C4 to G5

In Bizet’s opera Carmen, the bullfighter Escamillo walks into a tavern full of soldiers and boasts about the roaring crowd, the charging bull and the love that waits for him after the fight. Gamers know it from Five Nights at Freddy’s, where Freddy plays it in the dark when the power runs out.

Also as a duet for two tubas
