Griebling-Haigh: Danses Ravissants for flute, oboe, viola and harp

Code: JP5110
ISMN: 979-0-3019-0533-3

Originally composed for a quartet of flute, oboe, cello, and harp, Danses Ravissants was arranged in 2007 for flute with an optional piccolo part, oboe, viola, and harp at the request of the Cleveland, Ohio chamber group Panoramicos. The spicy, witty impertinence of the oboe and the haunting lyricism of the viola, when added to the luster and agility of the flute, the piquancy of the piccolo, and the startling explosive zing of the harp, provide a sonorous palette any artist would envy. These colors have been used to create a set of images of dances. While not being dances in the traditional sense, this music will ideally invigorate and cheer its audiences, making them feel like leaping about the room with wild abandon rather than sitting with hands complacently folded.
