Product Details


Product Description

The first of four of the movements, "Beethoven Returns to Africa," is a satirical perspective on the discussion of the possible African roots of the legendary composer. The work is nuanced in rhythmic and harmonic ideas and thus should be performed with great fun. Each movement in Four More Dances for Wind Quintet was inspired by a variety of rhythmic idioms. Theres ample influences from dance and folk materials researched from field studies around Africa, each movement following the basic structure of opening, development, recapitulation and closing.

This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters. ArrangeMe allows for the publication of unique arrangements of both popular titles and original compositions from a wide variety of voices and backgrounds.
