Composed by Antonin Dvorak. Arranged by Ray Thompson. This edition: pdf. Romantic Period, Standards, Wedding. 31 pages. RayThompsonMusic #4621337. Published by RayThompsonMusic (A0.553794).The Slavonic Dances (Czech: Slovanské tance) are a series of 16 orchestral pieces composed by Antonín Dvořák in 1878 and 1886 and published in two sets as Op. 46 and Op. 72 respectively.
Originally written for piano four hands, the Slavonic Dances were inspired by Johannes Brahms's own Hungarian Dances and were orchestrated at the request of Dvořák's publisher soon after composition. The pieces, lively and full of national character, were well received at the time and today are considered among the composer's most memorable works, occasionally making appearances in popular culture.
"Contrary to what the title might suggest, the dances are not so much inspired by Slavic folk music generally, but specifically by styles and forms from Bohemia. In these pieces, Dvořák never actually quotes folk melodies, but evokes their style and spirit by using traditional rhythmic patterns and structures in keeping with traditional folk dances."
This is my arrangement of No 7 from the first set Op.46
This is titled Skočná which is a rapid Slavic folk-dance, normally in 2
4 metre.
Arranged double wind quintet and bass.
