Description:
Paul Creston wrote in an accessible style that incorporated song and dance idioms and often featured unusual instruments like the trombone, marimba, or saxophone, along with lush harmonies, expansive orchestrations, rhythmic drive and spontaneity. A large proportion of his music included the word 'dance' in the title either of the piece itself or of the movements. These 'Choric Dances' are meant to sound raw, primitive and intensely rhythmic. This is a reduced-size score for study purposes.
