Composed by Joseph Edouard Barat, Introduction and Dance was written for Bb or C Saxhorn and Piano. Written for upper beginners, this piece is composed 1/3 by the introduction and 2/3 by the dance. Starting quite slow, the tempo doubles when the piece becomes a dance. Very melodic and cheerful, this piece is really enjoyable to play and hear. Joseph Edouard Barat (1882-1963) composed numerous pieces for winds and Piano accompaniment such as 'Andante and Allegro' or 'Oriental' among many others..

'This set of miniatures is based on traditional dance songs of the Yupik Eskimo people of Western Alaska. In their original forms, these melodies would be sung in unison. The first, third and fifth songs would be accompanied by frame drums. The second and fourth are game songs, for jumping rope and juggling pebbles. Aside from the obvious difference in instrumentation, my settings of these songs differ from the Yup'ik originals in other respects. I have extended and varied the melodies, and added countermelodies, ostinato figurations, introductions, interludes and codas. The first four melodies are drawn from the collection Yup'ik Eskimo songs, compiled by Thomas F. Johnston, and Tupou L. Pulu, and published by the University Of Alaska. The fifth was 'loaned' to me by Yup'ik singer and dancer Chuna McIntyre, who learned it in his village of Eek, Alaska. The poems preceding each piece are rough translations of the words to the songs. These verses are often cryptic and enigmatic. Their obscurity is increased because some of the words or their meanings have been lost, over time.' - John Luther Adams.

Set up by a slow and somber introduction, Dance For the Lord Like Children soon breaks into a very playful and lively piece evoking the free-spirited hopefulness of children. A simple percussion accompaniment can be very effective. Above all, singers should bring their spirit of fun and play to this piece.

The adancea is a bright, lively Gigue (or Jig, dotted quarter note = 78), a dance form derived from the German Geige. After the introduction, the opening theme is stated at m. 9 (winds and trumpet) and re-appears at m. 25 (low brass) along with its variations at m. 33. The ritardando at m. 41 leads to the Ayre (Concert Db) at m. 44, with an opening alto saxophone solo which slowly expands to full ensemble at m. 59. Ayre presents the conductor with a great deal of latitude in regards to interpretation (ritardando, rallentando, etc.).

Summer Dance is a melodic, up-tempo piece with plenty of musical and technical challenges for every player. Musicians should strive to play it with an energetic yet legato feel. A spirited introduction features an opening melody in the violins and active repeated-note pedal patters in the violas and low strings. An AABA form begins at m.5 and the orchestration is immediately pared down to feature violin I and cello. It then builds again in density to the B section, where a quick dynamic drop allows a question-and-answer melody between the two parts to sing out. In m. 29, the melody is harmonized and a countermelody in violin I introduced. The violins take the melody soaring in octaves in m. 33, as the piece again builds to the B section and suddenly quiets. Measure 55 then provides more question-and-answer interplay, this time for viola and cello, while violin continues with its newly harmonized melody. Summer Dance finishes with a soft recurrence of the opening figure and a build toward a powerful divisi voicing on beat 3 of m. 63, right before the final chord.Summer Dance is a melodic, up-tempo piece with plenty of musical and technical challenges for every player.

On the occasion of its 30th anniversary, the ensemble Music From China commissioned Chen Yi for a new work, which became Three Dances from China South, scored for Chinese instruments. Its three descriptive movements (Lions Playing Ball, Bamboo Dance, Lusheng Dance) are each inspired by folk dances from the southeastern provinces of China.Commissioned by the Barlow Endowment for Music Composition at Brigham Young University, the two-movement trio Tibetan Tunes was written for the New Pacific Trio (Igor Veligan, violin, Nina Flyer, cello, and Sonia Leong, piano). It was premiered at the Conservatory of Music at University of the Pacific on Jan. 27, 2007 in Stockton, California.The first movement is inspired by the Tibetan folk tune “Du Mu†as played on a recorder (Xiongling). This music presents the rich gestures of Du Mu (the name of a god in Tibetan Buddhism) in a serene mood.“Dui Xie†is a kind of Tibetan folk ensemble music using the same tune in the introduction and coda, played with the plucked instrument Zhamunie, the bamboo flute, and the fiddle Erhu, often performed with singing and tap dancing. The pitch materials of this movement are drawn from folk ensemble music and the lyrical Tibetan folk song “Amaliehuo.â€.

3 Dances is a Suite in three movements for 2 solo tubas and big band (2 alto saxophones, tenor saxophone, bariton saxophone, 4 trumpets, horn in F, 3 trombones, bass trombone, xylophone, vibraphone, marimba, piano, bass guitar, drum set) written in 3 movements. It is a typical example of the versatile composing talent of Roland Szentpali. His approach to jazz is well structured, with subtle fast or slow groovy sequences of the different instrumental and rhythm sections, stimulating (and how !) the two solo tubas interacting with each other. I. Blow On Fire starts with a free cadenza that is an introduction merging into fast elements which appear all along this movement. The two tubas start to play once the melodic elements burn, and from then develop their own dynamic shifts. II. Oriental Flavors is another kind of groove (as the movement title suggests), beginning with a short opening of the trombone section falling into secco rhythm that beats in contrasts with the stimulating lyrical intervention by the two tubists. III. Cinder Dance has a specific introduction that leads the musicians and the audience on the path of various trances over several uneven time signatures. At a certain point, the 2 tubas fly through cadencial sequences just over the rhythm section, before ending on a long collective and steamy final progression. World premiere and recording premiere: May 13-14, 2017 in the L. Austin Weeks Center for Recording and Performance at the Frost School of Music, University of Miami - Coral Gables, Florida, USA with the award winning Frost Concert Jazz Band conducted by John Daversa, and soloists Aaron Tindall and Roland Szentpali on tuba.

Henderson is a city in Clark County, Nevada, just southeast of Las Vegas and surrounded by desert: this was the inspiration for the title. Desert Dances opens with a lively introduction, mostly in 3/4, which pervades the faster sections of the piece. This subsides to introduce a slower dance which expands to a full-band climax. The introduction soon returns and leads to the main theme of the piece, a waltz-like melody played by the full ensemble. A short bridge passage follows, which leads to a legato central theme. This is played twice and heralds the return of the main theme and a short coda which closes the work. An imaginative work for concert or contest with nice features throughout all groups of the band.

Dances & Sonnets is a piece by Jacob de Haan, inspired by the dance and poetry of the 19th Century Europe. Lively instrumental dances alternate with spoken sonnets that are recited by one or more readers, accompanied by quiet, solemn music to provide contrast. De Haan has compiled a list of suggested poems to be read, but other poems may be selected that better fit the occasion. Dances & Sonnets is a dramatic and truly special piece! Dances & Sonnets is een ontmoeting tussen dans- en dichtkunst uit de negentiende eeuw. Centraal in dit werk staan de dansen die toen geliefd waren in de vissersdorpen langs de Noordzeekusten en rondom de Zuiderzee. Gedichtenwisselen deze dansen af. Bedoeling is dat een of meerdere lezers de gedichten voorlezen, waarbij het orkest hen begeleidt met zachte, gedragen muziek. Naast de gedichten die de componist voorstelt, kunt u natuurlijk ook zelf gedichtenof sonnetten kiezen. Maar ook zonder sprekers komt dit werk voortreffelijk tot zijn recht.Dances & Sonnets ist ein Werk, in dem sich Tanz und Dichtkunst des 19. Jahrhunderts treffen. Im Mittelpunkt des Werkes stehen Tanze, die damals in den Fischereihafen langs der niederlandischen Nordseekuste und der ehemaligen Zuiderzee popular waren. Im Werk wechseln sie sich mit einer Reihe von Gedichten ab, welche von einem oder mehreren Vorlesern deklamiert werden konnen. Begleitet werden die Gedichte von leise und getragen gespielter Musik des Blasorchesters.

Auch eine szenische Umsetzungkann eine Auffuhrung von Dances & Sonnets bereichern, das aber auch rein instrumental vorgetragen vorzuglich zur Geltung kommt. Cette oeuvre foisonne de references liees a la danse et a la poesie du XIXe siecle, car Jacob de Haan s'est appuye sur des danses jadis en vogue dans les ports de peche le long du littoral de la mer du Nord et de l'ancien golfe du Zuidersee. Dances & Sonnets s'ouvre avec une introduction majestueuse. Le compositeur explore ensuite l'univers de la danse avec une polka, une valse, une danse des sabots, une scottish a trois et un galop.
