Eine Kleine Christmas
The lights dim, the audience is hushed, the baton is aloft, and ‘away we go!’ ‘Tis a musical romp with tongue in cheek, and we hope that Mr. Mozart’s attorney is not in the house.

El Tango
The Tango is a well known and recognizable style of music that originated in Argentina in the mid 19th century. El Tango is a fresh and creative example of this style, as the music gives the effect of building intensity from beginning to end. Lots of imaginative and “tasty” percussion parts add to the effect. A fun, “surprise” ending brings this enjoyable and stylistic work to a close. This is a wonderful change of pace for any concert or festival performance!SKU: AL33848 -

Escape!
Try to picture extracting yourself from a maze with someone closely in pursuit, darting here, there and everywhere as quickly as you could to find a way out of. “Fleet afoot” would be an appropriate way to describe how the music in this piece should be approached—played lightly and with a sense of direction leading to the next phrase or rhythmic pattern. This tuneful and rhythmic offering provides some delightful twists and turns along the way! (3:00)SKU: AL41947 -
