Two of the most famous movements, Basse-Danse and Mattachins (Sword Dance), are presented here in a set adapted for intermediate orchestra, allowing younger students to experience the high-energy melodies and unique harmonies of these popular dances. These thoughtfully-arranged pieces work well at a variety of tempi, from moderate to presto, according to the ensemble’s ability. An exciting concert opener or closer!
