This lively rondo begins with the famous theme from Paganini's Caprice #24" reworked into a 5/4 dance with a cool vibe. Woven into the rondo form are three original dances (a tango, a country dance and a waltz)---each a musical adventure of its own. The colorful orchestration by Richard Meyer gives every member of your ensemble an unforgettable and joyful experience while the wide variety of playing styles and musical challenges make New Chances, New Dances an imaginative selection---the perfect choice for contest or festival.
