A Village Dance

 

A Village Dance is the third movement of The Mountain Suite for Oboe Trio (Oboe, Oboe d’Amore, and English Horn). It is a fine stand-alone piece in its own right.
 

As with the other two movements, the melodic material is amply passed around the ensemble; the musical language is that of quartal harmony and some mixed meter.
 

I have no live recording of this piece, so the mp3 is a FINALE extraction - the sound isn’t particularly satisfying but it certainly gives you a good idea of how the piece goes.

A Village Dance sells for $30.00 for the hard copy, $20.00 for the pdfs.
