Zarabanda by Enrique Granados comes from his set of 12 Spanish Dances, most often performed on guitar. This third dance, also called a fandango, is particularly well-suited for string orchestra with a beautifully elegant melody and upbeat dance feel, combining the style of flamenco with the classical tradition of the time period. Performers should pay particular attention to articulations, especially the contrasting of staccato with legato bowing. The performance should be fun and light throughout, with an emphasis on the dynamic, melodic, and rhythmic contrast.

From the call of the open seas to the wistful dance section, this piece will open the imagination of your students and audiences.  Very playable by young bands, the piece features a short opening ostinato that develops into a tone cluster and leads to the ominous sounds of the brass and percussion, which depict the slow lumbering ship on the dangerous, open waters. The piece continues through a more lyrical second section before a dramatic return of the opening material to close out this contest/festival style piece.From the call of the open seas to the wistful dance section, this piece will open the imagination of your students and audiences. Very playable by young bands, the piece features a short opening ostinato that develops into a tone cluster. This leads to the ominous sounds of the brass and percussion, which depict the slow lumbering ship on the dangerous, open waters. After a quickly paced melody in the low register for the clarinets, the piece gives way to an exciting tutti section that features horns and saxes on an answering countermelody.The second section is a dance that starts with low reeds and a flute solo, but develops into a full band Spanish-sounding dance, with melody in many different places. The recap is a reverse of the beginning section and again loosely represents the danger of life on the high seas.The short ostinato that is used at the beginning and in some transitional moments is based on the beginning notes of Irish Tune from County Derry, a favorite of J. C. Sykes, who this piece honors. Mr. Sykes gave a lifetime to teaching music to band students in North Carolina. The first four notes in clarinet 1, the first four in flute 1 and the first four in clarinet 2 make up the first phrase from that beautiful melody. Just something to get students thinking about composition in a new way.

Dance of the Whale was commissioned by the Spanish music foundation, Musica et Orbi, at the instigation of its president, Frank De Vuyst. It is part of a unique project which involved nine composers each writing a short movement, describing ananimal of the composers’ choice, to form a suite called Bestiarium. A consortium of bands around the world helped to fund the project and the world premiere of the suite took place in March 2013 in Medell n, Colombia. Dance of the Whaleuses the tenor instruments of the band to describe a lazy and graceful dance by a blue whale and is dedicated to endangered species around the world.Dance of the Whale werd geschreven in opdracht van de Spaanse muziekstichting Musica et Orbi, op initiatief van zijn voorzitter, Frank De Vuyst. Het is onderdeel van een uniek project; negen componisten schreven elk een kort deel waarin een dier naar keuze het onderwerp vormde. Zo vormen ze samen de suite genaamd Bestiarium. De wereldpremière van de suite vond plaats in maart 2013 in Medell n, Colombia. Dance of the Whale gebruikt de tenorinstrumenten van het orkest om de gracieuze dans te beschrijven van een blauwe vinvis. Het werk is gewijd aan bedreigde diersoorten over de hele wereld.Das Stück Dance of the Whale (Tanz des Wales“) ist Teil eines einzigartigen Projekts, in das neun Komponisten eingebunden waren. Jeder Komponist sollte ein Tier seiner Wahl musikalisch in einem kurzen Satz darstellen. Das Ergebnis war eine Suite namens Bestiarium. Dance of the Whale setzt Tenorinstrumente ein, um den trägen und zugleich anmutigen Tanz eines Blauwals zu beschreiben. Das Werk ist den bedrohten Tierarten auf der ganzen Welt gewidmet.Dance of the Whale (Danse de la Baleine), un ballet pour les espèces menacées est une commande de la fondation musicale espagnole Musica et Orbi l’instigation de son président, Frank De Vuyst.

The traditional bolero is a moderately slow dance in triple meter which originated in late-18th century Spain. Since then it has spread to other countries and become transformed in the process. The Cuban bolero became a bit faster in tempo and duple in meter. In the U.S. it became a staple of competitive ballroom dancing, even faster and in 4/4 time. Maurice Ravel's Boléro for orchestra harkens back to the slower Spanish dance in three. Wood's Bolero by Mark Wood, on the other hand, focuses on the American version but maintains elements of the dance's origins and first iterations. For string orchestra with optional rock rhythm section parts. (3:10)Download Play-Along Track
