Description

These pieces exemplify the popular dance-like styles for which the composer is so well known. The music is technically challenging, primarily due to the busy self-accompanying textures. The range extends up to D5. The composer states that, if desired, light hand percussion may be improvised to accompany and enhance the various Celtic, Caribbean, and Middle Eastern flavors in each piece if desired.
