Folk dances are widespread throughout Greece. In this composition formed by three movements, Franco Cesarini elaborates some typicaldances of the Greek folk tradition by making use of three traditional folk songs, developing them freely. The first movement is a kalamatianos, a festive dance that has roots dating all the way back to antiquity and is considered the national dance of Greece. Its most distinctive feature is the irregular 7/8 rhythm. Depending on the occasion and the dancers’ level of skill, certain steps may be taken as jumps or squats. The second movement represents a zeibekiko. Contrary to most of the traditional Greek dances, the zeibekiko is not a dance performed in a group; it doesn't have any step to follow, only certain figures. The third movement, an hasapiko, is a traditional dance with roots from Constantinople. It serves as the inspiration for the “sirtaki†and progresses from a slow to a faster pace. The hasapiko is performed in a line or open circle formation, with each dancer placing his on the neighbour's shoulders.

Three Rivers represents the diversity of the Monongahela Valley area of Pennsylvania, where the composer spent his early years. Commissioned by the Pennsylvania Music Educators Association, this stunning work depicts the industrial sounds of steel making, the jubilant sounds of a band in the park and the jazz heritage of the area. This noted composer brilliantly melds two thematic elements together to form an exciting percussive conclusion. A wonderful programmatic work for mature bands!
