This Dance uses the 1st 6 pitches of the Bb scale and basic rhythmic concepts to convey a peasant-style country dance in simple 8-bar phrases. Every instrument group enjoys the opportunity to perform the melody, harmony, or accompaniment. Opening with a brief intro based on the main theme, low voices lead the first section and pass to the high voices in the second. Middle voices lead the 2nd theme and a back-and-forth leads the 3rd theme back to the main theme, this time passing through the various voices.

SKU: A0.527715

Composed by P. I. Tchaikovsky. Arranged by Diego Marani. Classical,Concert,Instructional,Romantic Period,Standards. Score and parts. 20 pages. Diego Marani #3125277. Published by Diego Marani (A0.527715).

Danse des petits cygnes is a famous dance from Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake, from the ballet’s second act, the fourth movement of No. 13. Translated from French, it means Dance of the Little Swans, also known as Dance of the cygnets. It is very challenging because all dancers must look the same.

Ivanov's choreography—created for the famous revival of Swan Lake in 1895—was meant to imitate the way cygnets huddle and move together for protection. Four dancers enter the stage in a line and move across with their arms crossed in front of one another, grasping the next dancer's hand. They move sideways, doing sixteen pas de chat. Ideally the dancers move in exact or near-exact unison. At the very end, they break their chain and try to fly, only to drop to the ground.

This arrangement for brass quintet includes the following parts: Bb Trumpet 1, Bb Trumpet 2, F Horn, Trombone, Tuba.

There are two different keys (D Minor & C Minor) in the arrangement to meet all the quintet's execution capabilities.

This is a beginning band chart that features a very memorable melody that the entire band gets to play at some point. There are a couple of accidental notes. The song is in the swing style so students can get an introduction to swung eighth notes. The piece can also be played in a straight style as well.  This will be a favorite with the students!
