Tatarian Dances (concert band) Elena Roussanova Lucas

Staged in four movements, this charming suite of characteristic Tatarian dances begins with the spirted 'Sabantui-Spring Dance.' A lovely musical depiction is the focus of the second movement entitled 'Sarman River' characterized with flowing melodic lines. The third and fourth movements, 'Harvest Dance' and 'Wedding Dance' occur without a break yet the contrasting styles offer a diverse variety of textures. An exciting new collection of Tatarian dances. (11:05)
