This work for band is a setting of several delightful Moravian folk dances. “Stoji hruska v oudoli” is a fast-paced two-step dance. “Rozluc se Ancicko” features a clarinet solo in a mournful, yet lilting, slow 6/8 melody. “Preskoda nastokrat” is a highly rhythmic piece in a moderate tempo that features a brief double reed/piccolo section. “Ma zlata maticka” begins with an unaccompanied alto saxophone solo, then includes a folk dance that begins slowly and increases in tempo. “Vojaci jedou” is a proud and uplifting march in 3/4 time. “U Kláštera pole” ends the rhapsody with a lively 2/4 dance that builds to a rousing conclusion. Performers and audiences alike will enjoy the wonderful colors and tonality of this charming music from the Czech Republic. (9:20)SKU: AL22280 -
