Flourishes and Dances
Marshall, Steve
2 SA, harpsichord, cello. Jazz Dance - Torch Dance - Country Dance . Flourishes and Dances was written at the request of the Parnassian Ensemble. It comprises three dances - the first a fast bit of jazz dancing, the second a rather sultry Latin American number, and the third a somewhat manic country dance. The pieces are not dances as such, but were at least inspired by dance rhythms. Each dance starts with a short flourish, the speed of which contrasts with that of the dance that follows. All three flourishes are based on the same music, and this music also does pop up from time to time during the dances. Total playing time of this rather difficult work is about ten minutes.
