Pelic an Dance was composed in 2022 as part of my annual commitment to create a piece to be premiered by our University of Mobile High School Honor Band. I had a beginning concept for a “dance” piece and was leaning toward something which was a little quirky, fun and not too serious. One day, during my regular commute across Mobile Bay, I noticed the pelicans, elegant birds in the air and water but awkward on land. I tried to imagine a pelican dancing and decided I had my mascot and theme.The opening motif, played in octaves by the whole ensemble in the first measure, is fundamental for the entire work. It is stated in some form at the beginning of each section, is the basis for the first theme and is even used as the bass line later in the piece. It should be clearly stated each time it appears.Performance considerations: Although there are contrasting moments in the work, the tempo should never waiver. It should remain brisk and consistent from section to section.Dynamic contrast is an important aspect of the compositional design and stylistic makeup of the piece. The subito dynamics, fp, etc., need to be almost startling.Percussion drives the energy of this composition to a strong degree, and it is probably the most fun section in the band for this piece. Covering those parts effectively is critically important.

The cakewalk is a dance that was popular in the late nineteenth-century and indicative of the ragtime style, which was the precursor to Jazz. This piece contains the well-known cakewalk rhythm as the basis of all of the melodic and accompanying material. In typical Carl Strommen fashion, the piece is tuneful, well-scored and fun!.
The “Cakewalk”, also known as the “Walkaround” or “Prize Walks,” was a late nineteenth-century Southern dance form set to the infectious, even eighth-note pulse of Ragtime. A partner dance, judges would evaluate the elegant bearing of the men, the gracefulness of the women and the inventiveness of the pair of dancers. The last remaining pair (“winners”) would often be presented with an elaborately decorated cake.Devoted exclusively to the sixth grade, the Silas Wood school is named after Silas Wood (1769–1847), who was elected to the United State Congress for five terms representing the Long island, New York district within Suffolk County and the Town of Huntington.

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.
