Description:
This new work for band is a setting of several delightful Moravian folk dances. 'Stoji hruska v oudoli' is a fast-paced two-step dance. 'Rozluc se Ancicko' features a clarinet solo in a mournful, yet lilting, slow 6/8 melody. 'Preskoda nastokrat' is a highly rhythmic piece in a moderate tempo that features a brief double reed/piccolo section. 'Ma zlata maticka' begins with an unaccompanied alto saxophone solo, then includes a folk dance that begins slowly and increases in tempo. 'Vojaci jedou' is a proud and uplifting march in 3/4 time. 'U Klßštera pole' ends the rhapsody with a lively 2/4 dance that builds to a rousing conclusion. Performers and audiences alike will enjoy the wonderful colors and tonality of this charming music from the Czech Republic.
