Program Notes
From the joyous opening statements, through beautiful flowing and lyrical middle section to the blazing finale, Sun Dancing is a musical portrait of the simple but intensely beautiful sun-catcher. This exciting and bold composition has all of composer David Shaffer’s flare for fun and excitement. The large number of percussion parts will keep even the largest percussion section involved. Superb for contest or concert performances, it’s sure to be a favorite of your students and audiences!
Sun Dancing was commissioned by and the Linwood Middle School Band, Linwood, New Jersey, Larry J. Lamkin, director, and is dedicated to the parents who encourage music in their children and to our past and present administration who have supported music education in our school.
