Program Notes
Symphonic Dance No. 4 Square Dance is one of a group of five originally commissioned by the Minnie Stevens Piper Foundation commemorating the twenty-fifth anniversary of the San Antonio Symphony Orchestra, which first performed the entire set of dances on January 30, 1965 under that baton of the composer. Williams transcribed Dances 2, The Maskers, 3, Fiesta, and 5, New Generation, for symphonic band, although only 2 and 3 were published initially. Each dance represents a culture which at a given historical time occupied the San Antonio area.
The current transcription for symphonic band was completed by Thomas Stone in 2018.
