Ballet Suite in 5 movements (revised version)3222; 4331; timp, perc, hp, pno; stgs Duration: 24' Composed: 2008 Published by: Alla Pavlova Music Although it maintains the charm of the original Hans Christian Andersen tale, Alla Pavlova's Thumbelina is a considerable musical, visual and narrative expansion of the story to make it suitable as a full-length ballet and family-programming alternative to The Nutcracker. Musically, it is scored for full symphony orchestra ([3,2,2,2]-[4,3,3,1]-[timp.,perc.]-[Hp]-[Strings], Percussion: Bass dr., Snare dr., Wooden Block, Tambourine, Triangle, Glock., Vibraphone, Celesta) and contains not only many beautiful, lyrical and moving waltzes and other classical themes, but also rhythms such as tango, boogie-woogie and ragtime. Narratively, the story has been adapted to include a varied and colorful cast of characters. The Thumbelina Suite (which has been recorded by the Tchaikovsky Symphony Orchestra for Naxos) can be heard at http://www.allapavlova.com/listen.html or by clicking on the image below. She has created a synopsis of the ballet, which is of course based on the Andersen fairy tale. We’ll gladly send this synopsis on request.

The Ape's Ballet was one of the obligatory pieces on the literature list for the German Choral Competition in 1994. But with expressive markings such as quasi Tango or poco piu mosso, quasi Boogie, the piece is more likely to become obligatory fun for choral singers everywhere!

Composed by the Czech composer Bohuslav Martinu in 1927, The Kitchen Revue is a ballet initially created for a sextet. This score was reviewed and tailored for an orchestra. This ballet, talking about the life of kitchen utensils, is divided in ten sections: 1. Prologue (Allegretto) 2. Introduction (Tempo de marche) 3. Danse du moulinet autour du caudron (Poco meno) 4. Danse du chaudron et du couvercle (Allegro) 5. Tango (Danse d'amour. Lento) 6. Duel (Poco a poco allegro. Tempo di Charleston) 7. Entracte (Lamentation du chaudron. Allegro moderato) 8. Marche funebre (Adagio) 9. Danse radieuse (Tempo di marche) 10. Fin du drame (Allegretto) The story focuses on the marriage of the Pot and Lid which is put at risk by the Twirling Stick, and the music features some strong jazz influences. Bohuslav Martinu (1890-1959) also wrote 13 other ballets, 15 operas and 6 symphonies and some orchestral and chamber music.

Imagine Tchaikovsky on a vacation trip that was arranged by a really, really bad travel agent. That, in a “nutshell”, describesThe Nutty Nutcracker. This humorous style parody of what may arguably be some of the best-known melodies on the planetis a certain crowd pleaser. Everybody knows the tunes, but not like THIS! The Arabian Tango; The Chinese Hoedown; TheWaltz of the Mariachi Flowers; The Dance of the Klezmer Clarinets and MORE. You get the idea! Great fun for everyone.You’llwant to use Mike Hannickel’s A Nutty Nutcracker again and again.Whoops! Where are we?

Een onderhoudende bewerking van Tsjaikovski's wereldberoemde Notenkraker, Waarin de arrangeur op de humoristische wijze een en ander doorelkaar heeft gehusseld. De meeste van de zeven delen zijn gebaseerd op dansstijlen en-ritmes, bijvoorbeeld de samba, de tango, de trepak, de wals en zelfs reggae. Deze stilistische aspecten kunnen worden overdreven voor een maximaal effect. Veel plezier met deze doldwaze notenkraker!

Was wäre, wenn Tschaikowski, von einer schlecht organisierten Reise zurückgekehrt, alle Noten seiner Nussknacker-Suite vollkommen durcheinander vorgefunden hätte und das kurz vor der Premiere? Seltsame Vorstellung - aber genau das ist die Fantasie, die Mike Hannickel seinem amüsanten Stück The Nutty Nutcracker zugrunde legte, in dem die einzelnen Sätze, von Tschaikowskis Reise inspiriert, als Samba oder Klezmer, im chinesischen oder arabischen Stil, als Reggae oder Mariachi-Musik erscheinen.

Imaginez quoi ressemblerait Casse-Noisette si Tcha kovski avait accidentellement mélangé les parties instrumentales de cette œuvre sans jamais retrouver le bon ordre ? Cela vous semble improbable et sans doute avez-vous raison. Mike Hannickel, lui, n’exclut pas cette option et nous propose une toute autre version du célèbre ballet, une version que Tcha kovski aurait peut-être réalisée lui-même s’il y avait pensé. Écoutons sans plus attendre l’œuvre d’un Tcha kovski vraiment distrait.
