Wedding Dances

Description

A concert version of the dance music from the second act of the sensational opera Bandanna, for voices and wind ensemble by Daron Aric Hagen (see also Bandanna Overture), this varied and colorful piece will be a brilliant addition to the program of a Grade Four band. The music dramatically reflects the growing conflicts of the story (based on Othello) and climaxes with a powerful setting of the big tune associated with the idea of "crossing over" from Mexico to the U.S., and from Life to Death. This piece is a major addition to the serious band repertoire and has been added to the Texas UIL Prescribed Music List. Duration: 7'
