Danses Terpsichore (C/B) Chris Sharp

FJH Young Band

Composed as a follow-up to the writer's popular Danse Antiqua, this three-part Renaissance-style dance suite features a wealth of musical styles in one continuous movement. The opening Allemande showcases a courtly duple-meter dance. The ensuing Pavane features a slower, more dignified melody. The final Galliard is presented as a lively triple-meter dance with some adventurous harmonic language. A wonderful addition to the repertoire!
