This early-intermediate solo is a delight to play and to hear! Written in A minor and 3/4 meter, this piece includes multiple changes between A minor and E major chords. Patterns are simple, easy to remember, and repeat throughout the piece in different registers. Dynamic contrasts create echo effects, and a D. S. al Coda allows the student to play the exciting middle section a second time. / Piano

The Ritual Fire Dance by Manuel da Falla is taken from the ballet El amor brujo (The Bewitched Love) written in 1915. The work was influenced by a traditional dance used to worship the fire-god where the participants involved would jump or leap through fire.Candela, a gypsy girl performs this Ritual Fire Dance causing a ghost to appear. She begins to dance with the ghost whirling faster and faster until the ghost is pulled into the fire, causing it to disappear.This brilliant arrangement of about four and one half minutes is written for advanced performers.
