Description
“Dance of the Hours” is a short ballet from the opera “La
Gioconda,” composed by Amilcare Ponchielli. It depicts the hours of the day
through solo and ensemble dances, and the ballet was frequently performed on
its own. It gained even wider popularity after being included as a comic ballet
in Disney’s 1940 film, “Fantasia,” and in 1963 was parodied by Allan Sherman in
his biggest hit, “Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah (A Letter from Camp).” This
intermediate piano solo arrangement takes on an Egyptian sound in the style of
a mesmerizing snake charmer melody. 4 pages. Performance time: approximately
2:10.
