Geometric Dances - Roger Cichy

A fascinating and most creative work! Starting out in 2/4 meter, an eighth note is added to the meter of each successive movement (2/4, 5/8, 6/8, 7/8). The melodies are very musical and dance-like, with touches of the familiar throughout, and some jazz harmonizations for good measure. This marvelous work turns the math that you hated into the dance music that you love.

Using many effects to recreate the events at the Battle of Gettysburg, this piece is perfect for discussing historical perspective (included in the notes). A slow, mysterious opening leads into a depiction of the battle. A short, aleatoric section simulates a huge cannon bombardment with drums and whistling. A great way to utilize percussion while providing many opportunities for the rest of the band as well. Consider this strongly for your programming needs. (2:45)
