Program Notes

This suite of three Balkanese dances capture the spirit of Balkan folk music. Jan Van der Roost creatively weaves his original themes in the rich, sonorous opening and throughout the changes of tempo and style. It's an exciting work that pays homage to the heritage of a land currently in the forefront of world attention.

- Program Note from publisher


Balkanya, a suite in three parts composed by Jan Van der Roost, was commissioned by the Music School of Gaillon - Aubevoye (France) for the celebration of the twentieth anniversary of its creation. Jan Van der Roost dedicated the piece to the director of the school: Thierry Patel.

As in his earlier work, Puszta, the composer makes no use of existing dances or themes in these three Balkan dances. This high-spirited suite takes its own approach to the folk music of the Balkan countries and is characterized by unique changes in tempo and spirit. Woodwinds, brass and percussion all have equal parts, making this suite attractive and enjoyable for the entire band.

Commissioned by the "Ecole de Musique de Gaillon-Aubevoye (France);" dedicated to Thierry Patel.
