Opus #25

I) Interlude
II) Baião, Interlude
III) Samba (Partido Alto).

Commissioned and premiered by Dr. John Wooton and the SMU Steel Band.

These two exciting pieces are a unique in the percussion literature. The first dance is a baiao in a fugue like form. The second is a samba partido alto. A calm interlude in tempo di valsa separates the two dances. A natural marriage of style and instrumentation, this work will add an extraordinary dimension to any steel band concert. A must for every steel band.
