Product Description

Bartok's famous Romanian Folk Dances arranged by Philip Le Bas for wind decet and optional double bass.

These six or seven (the last two are often considered to be just one) folk dances from Romania were originally composed by Bela Bartok in 1915 for piano solo. They have been extremely popular ever since perhaps in part because, despite each being so short (about one minute), they do seem to create a wonderful linear progression, with the last few increasing gradually in tempo until the brilliant ending of the final dance. They are also extremely attractive melodies.

This arrangement, which derives principally from Bartok's subsequent chamber orchestra version, tries to maintain and enhance the different colour of each dance by using the different instruments of the wind decet in a variety of ways. The piccolo clearly has a starring roll in the third movement (as Bartok himself scored it), but also swapping the melody between first and second of a particular instrument (e.g. 1st and 2nd oboe) can create a new texture to a repeated musical line. The arranger hopes that players and listeneners alike will enjoy its kaleidoscope of sounds.

Instrumentation:
2 flutes (2nd doubling piccolo)
2 oboes
2 clarinets in B flat
2 horns in F
2 bassoons
Optional double bass.

Its seven movements have the following titles:
1. Stick Dance
2. Sash Dance
3. On One Spot
4. Dance from Bacsum
5. Romanian Polka
6. Fast Dance I
7. Fast Dance II
