Published by Barabba Music (A0.1381044). Itās difficult to know what to say about this piece. It will probably always be an aberration when considered as part of my larger body of works. My challenge when writing this piece was to incorporate two different dance styles, and I immediately decided it was time to face the disco music of my childhood. Yes, I had the Bee Gees on LP when I was a kid.ā¦and ABBAā¦but I left them out of this piece.Obviously, this is meant to be fun. There are direct (if not always obvious) quotations to the following songs:Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Anita Wardās āRing My BellāĀ Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā āNight Feverā by the Bee GeesĀ Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Gloria Gaynorās āI Will Surviveā (Just had to be included)Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Lipps Incās āFunktownāĀ Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā and āBoogie Nightsā from HeatwaveThe ancient dance form known as the pavane is, weirdly enough, the perfect pairing with the discoā¦in that their rhythmic structures easily go together, allowing me to spread the disco material around throughout the piece. In fact, the references to āI Will Surviveā are in the slower pavane section, not the disco.The piece is basic A-B-A form (Disco-Pavane-Disco) with a fadeout endingā¦because in all my research I donāt remember finding a single disco piece that didnāt have a fadeout ending. It just wasnāt done. Please have some fun listening to this piece, because I had a great time writing it. Itās unlike anything Iāve ever written..pdf contains a complete set of score and parts. There are also versions with clarinet and oboe in place of the flute available. For more information visit www.jasonbarabba.com.
