About this arrangement

Orchestra - Grade 2 SKU: AP.49054S Composed by John Playford. Arranged by Andrew H. Dabczynski. Performance Music Ensemble; Single Titles; String Orchestra. Highland/Etling String Explorer. Light Concert; TV. Score. 8 pages. Duration 2:10. Highland/Etling #00-49054S. Published by Highland/Etling (AP.49054S). ISBN 9781470645670. UPC: 038081564159. English.English country dancing has been popular for over 300 years, and The Dancing Master features two delightful folk tunes in that timeless style arranged by Andrew H. Dabczynski. The first lively tune, Jamaica, has been used in the theme to the British TV comedy, Upstart Crow, and the second, The Goddesses, offers a charming contrast. Attributed to John Playford, these melodies fall under the fingers of beginning string students with interesting, rhythmic parts for all players. An optional hand-drum part adds to the upbeat 17th century dance atmosphere. (2:10).
