Dance Suite for Strings (I. Allemande, II. Sarabande, III. Gigue)
By Maurice C. Whitney / ed. John Whitney
Conductor Score, Parts & CD
Three charming dances for string orchestra with piano, all with a flavor of the Baroque era. The first, Allamande, is dainty and endearing. Second is the more regal Sarabande. The concluding movement is a rapid dance entitled Gigue. A nice array of dance styles that is pleasant to rehearse and a joy to perform. (5:09)
