Program Notes
Shaffer has risen to a higher level of musical misquotation with this adaptation of Tchaikovsky’s famous ballet, Nuts and Crackers. David has lovingly orchestrated three of the most best known movements from the ballet: March of the Rin Tin Tin Soldiers, Dance of the Thoroughly Modern Mirlitons, and the Russian Hat-rack Dance (Ho Ho Hopak). This delightfully fun piece is especially appropriate for holiday concerts, but is sure to bring down the house in any concert setting. Lots of fun and full of percussion sound effects.
