Three Courtly Dances

Featuring distinctive sounds from the Renaissance period, here is an attractive suite of three dances skillfully scored for young bands. The stately “Allemande” uses full band passages alternating with statements by the woodwinds and brass. William Byrd’s “Pavana” provides the lyric middle movement, while the lively dance “Saltarello” provides a rousing finish. Dur: 4:50 (Grade 2.5)
