| Slavonic Dance Opus 46 No.3 - Polka Dvorak produced two sets of eight Slavonic Dances in response to a request from a publisher to produce something similar to Brahms' popular 'Hungarian Dances'. The first set of dances, from which this dance is taken, were originally composed for piano duet in 1878, though Dvorak commenced orchestrating them before the set was complete. They are based rhythmically on characteristic Czech dances (Furiant, Polka, Sousedska and Skocna) but the musical material is Dvorak's own.

Parts: alto1, alto2, gtr1, gtr2, gtr3, bass, contrabass - Grades: 5,5,6,4,4,4,4 These two pieces are taken from Twenty Spanish Folk Songs by Joaquín Nin. They were originally written for soprano and piano and cover all regions of Spain; the Granadina and the Saeta both being from Andalucia. Granadinas exist as a flamenco form alternating strict tempo dance sections with freer lyrical passages. Whilst Nin's Granadina is an original composition, it does recognise the feel of its Spanish forerunner. The Saeta is of very different character being a processional music form that is used on religious occasions. |

| Strauss, Johann | An Der Schönen Blau Donau (The Blue Danube Waltzes) This Waltz for Orchestra, Opus 314, has ever been a great favourite with audiences throughout the world.

| Concerto for Two Mandolins performed by Selby Music Centre Guitar Ensemble, North Yorkshire, England. The concerto was originally written for mandolins, string orchestra and continuo in G major. This arrangement for two altos, two tenor guitars, one bass and one contrabass guitar has been transposed to C major to suit the range of the instruments more effectively. It is possible to double the solo alto parts where the rest of the ensemble is of sufficient size (e.g. eight or more tenor guitars) - this gives the advantage of 'back-up' for less experienced performers, and also imitates the 'double-string' effect of the mandolin Parts: alto1, alto2, gtr1,gtr2, bass, contrabass - Grades: 6,6,5,3,3 |
