Composer: Adrienne Albert Title: Sam's Dance Instrumentation: fl, ob, cl, hn, bsn Duration: 5 minutes Difficulty: Moderate Programme note: Sam's Dance was originally conceived from a dream I had about my father who had to undergo foot surgery. He had the lithe physique of an athlete whose only sport was walking. Sam religiously walked five miles everyday of his life. While sitting in the hospital waiting for his results, Chagall-like images of my father walking with a cane through the clouds paraded as a three-legged waltz. The melancholy melodies characterize my father who was constantly searching for lost dreams, hopes and loves. Availability:the composer Composer's web site |
