Description:
NORA'S DANCE is a jazz-influenced rag from 1921, and among the only surviving compositions by Nora Douglas Holt. A charming and exciting work rejuvenated by Lara Downes' 2021 recording for the Rising Sun label, the rag is both a fun 2 minutes for pianists and audiences, and also a fascinating time capsule. Composed several years after Scott Joplin's death, and several years before the Charleston pervaded popular music, NORA'S DANCE blossoms with the energy and jazz harmony starting to emerge as The Roaring 20's, using ragtime and stride as the seed for pianistic style.
