Description
This particular Polish dance is based on the style of the Mazurka. The mazurka is written in a bright triple meter such as ¾ and is quite energetic. It is written in 3/4 (simple triple) and features straightforward rhythmic patterns from this metre. It is scored for Full Concert or Symphonic Band.
What separates the mazurka from waltz (also in triple meter) is the fact that a mazurka places an accent on either the second or third beat of the bar, whereas a waltz only emphasises the first beat. This mazurka emphasises the second beat. The mazurka, alongside the polka dance, became popular at the ballrooms and salons of Europe in the 19th century.
The score has parts for rarer instruments such as the English Horn (Cor Anglais), Eb Soprano Clarinet, Eb Alto Clarinet, Bb Contrabass Clarinet and Contrabassoon. An optional piano part is also supplied, that can assist if you have missing instruments. However, the score is definitely playable without the extra instruments, as the parts are doubled or cued in more common instrument parts. Euphonium / Baritone parts are supplied in both Bass and transposed Bb Treble Clef parts.
- If you need additional parts such as Eb Horns or Eb Contralto Clarinet, I am happy to supply these at no extra cost – just add an enquiry above.
