Program Notes
The dragon dance is often part of a parade during Chinese New Year and other special events. It is performed by a team of skilled dancers using poles to manipulate a long flexible figure of a dragon. The colorful display combined with driving percussive music is a truly amazing spectacle to see. There are four different dragons represented here – each with a unique character and personality, then they are combined in different ways musically.
Performance Notes
Can be played by a minimum of five wind/string players. With doubling, performance is also possible for 15 players or a large band/orchestra. Percussion parts are not required but add a lot to the overall ensemble sound.
