A New Orleans Nutcracker Suite

Description

I. Overture II. Dirge for a Sugar Plum Fairy III. Trem� Trepak Tchaikovsky strolls the streets of the French Quarter! Arranger Michael Kamuf reimagines the "Overture," "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies," and "Trepak" themes by using different New Orleans-based grooves, rich jazz harmony, and plenty of syncopation and rhythmic twists. Students will love playing these themes, and your audience will dance in the aisles! A New Orleans Nutcracker Suite is the perfect addition to your holiday program. Though written as a suite, each movement can stand alone. (6:00)
