Yuletide Dances

1997  (7 minutes)

Yuletide Dances is a lively suite of original dances for Yuletide, set in various styles from the Renaissance to the present.  One of the few works of dances for the Yuletide season.  Fragments of carols are interspersed with original music.  Only the final movement, “Dances ’round the tree” contains a complete carol (“Sussex Carol”) and it is juxtaposed with a rhythmic 20th century dance.
