  • Slavonic Dance No.9 op.72 no.1

    SKU: SM-C169F
    £14.95

    Antonín Dvorák arranged by Melanie Thorne

    Slavonic Dance No. 9 op.72 was the first dance in a set of 8 orchestral pieces composed in 1886.  It was first composed for piano four hands, then orchestrated, and now in the form of a saxophone quartet!  It was inspired by Slavic folk music, and although never quotes original folk melodies, evokes their style and spirit through the rhythmic patterns and structure.
    This arrangement includes melodic interest in all parts and would be a popular concert item.
    (Grade 7/8) [3 B♭/Bass B♭]

    Melanie Thorne

    Two contrasting movements.  The first is a fast and rhythmic movement

    with some Latin influence.  The second has more of a bluesy feel and

    then progresses into a faster swing-style. (Grade 4-6)

    Marin Marais – Arranged by Melanie Thorne

    ‘The Bells of Sainte-Geneviève du Mont de Paris’ is a work by Marin

    Marais written in 1723, originally  for viol, violin and harpsichord with

    basso continuo.  The original is written as a passacaglia or chaconne.

    This arrangement for clarinet choir is a slightly shortened version

    of the original with rhythmic and melodic interest in all parts.

    Considering this work is nearly 300 years old, this ensemble gives

    the music a surprisingly contemporary sound. (Grade 6-8)

    [E♭/4 B♭ Cl/B♭ or Alto E♭ Cl/Bs B♭ Cl/Bass B♭ Cl or Contr Bass B♭ Cl]
