Excerpt from Symphony StoriesSymphony program, is one of a set of eight English Dances. It 13 the fifth dance 1n the set, and it has no title except the three Italian words, Allegro non troppo, which can be translated as Fast - but nor too fast. You may be shocked by the Introduction, two clashing nores (g and F) sounded by every instrument in the orchestra at the same time. After this Startling dissonance the jaunty first theme is introduced by the piccolo and celeste, and it goes happily on its way at a brisk marching tempo. Try to recognize the theme each time it returns (eight times in all). The tune will be the same but it will be played by different instruments, sometimes high, and sometimes low. The third time the theme comes in, you will be surprised to hear the bassoons playing it in a very low register. Can you identify any of the Other instruments? (side drum, Woodwinds, strings and harp, French horn, cymbals, tambourine). At the end, the theme dies away quietly with the celeste playing all by itself.The second theme which appears in the middle of the piece is easy to identify because it is slow and pompous. After listening a number of times, you can probably recognize the string family, French horns and other brasses. Towards the end you will hear a 'loud fanfare played by trumpets and trombones.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
