Description
Taken in its entirety it would be hard to overstate the enormity of Dvorák's output of excellent music, and yet most young musicians are familiar with only one theme from one of his symphonies, if even that. It was his first set of Slavonic Dances (Op. 46) that first brought him wide recognition as a composer. In this new CMP offering, two ofDvorák's delightful Czech folk-style melodies are skillfully ada pted for the concert band by James Curnow. Explore the kind of music that put Dvorák on the world stage, helping to establish him as oneof the key composers in the history of music.
