Phillip Littlemore's great new arrangement of one of Dvorak's colourful and exciting Slavonic Dances.

Phillip Littlemore's fantastic arrangement of Slavonic Dance No 1 is now available

Thursday, 07 November 2019

Phillip Littlemore has created a new arrangement of this highly spirited dance, which gets a regular outing on Classic fm — which should make it popular with brass band audiences too.

Dvorak composed his first set of eight Slavonic Dances in 1878. Originally written for piano duet, the dances were inspired by Brahms' Hungarian Dances, and were orchestrated soon after composition at his publisher's request.

Highly spirited

'Slavonic Dance No.1' is a highly spirited and cheerful furiant in 3/4, but is filled with cross-rhythms throughout that suggest duple time — an important feature of the dance.

Price: £20.00
