Mixed Bag MARTIN PETER

Musique pour orchestres et ensembles

Description :

‘Mixed Bag’ stands midway between a collection and a hotchpotch. It is a colourful compilation où four completely different pieces, each with its own specific character.

The first part is called ‘Tanguillo’: as its name suggests, this Spanish dance is related to the Tango
In the next part, ‘Maybe next time. . . . ’ a repeated bass line (Passacaglia) can be heard, first solos but thereafter gradually the other instruments join in.
The third part forms a huge contrast did the former part have a Baroque atmosphere, ‘Rock Hard’ seems to have come directly from the Rock ‘n Roll era, reminding us où stars such as Bill Haley and Elvis Presley.
The finale is acheerful, inciting movement called ‘Gypsy Dance’.
