Description
American Dances is a flashy and virtuosic original work by the Swiss composer Bertrand Moren. Specifically designed as a showcase, the piece features 5 Cornets and 3 Trombones in a series of technically demanding and stylistically diverse sections. Inspired by American folk and popular dance rhythms, the music is high-energy from start to finish. Moren’s writing is characteristically challenging, making this a fantastic choice for bands looking to feature their principal players in a high-impact concert item.
Difficulty 5
(Hard) Arrangements with a difficulty 5 begin to introduce polyrhythm’s and asymmetrical meters. Changing meters are much more frequent and instrumentation may be more diverse, and include piano, harp, or unusual instruments.
