Manuel de Falla

From de Falla’s ballet El Amor Brujo the very familiar “Ritual Fire Dance” is scored especially for your young band from the pen of Michael Story. Beginning with the haunting sound of low trilling clarinets, the melody is initially stated by the alto voices. The dance in the opera takes place before a campfire and increases in energy and speed to a frenzied climax. A big sounding setting for your developing band!
