Ceremonial Dances - Greg Danner - Grand Mesa Music Score/Parts

This setting of four English renaissance dances is in the great band tradition of Holst, Jacob, and Vaughn Williams. The four movements feature music in a variety of tempi and styles. A final coda at the end of the shanty brings back the glorious pavane melody in strong brass chords for a dramatic ending. With strong melodies and bold harmonic writing, Ceremonial Dances offers students and directors a new work in the British band tradition.
