With “modern\/trad. – Volume 1” marks the beginning of a trend-setting series for the folk dance scene. Schottisch, waltz, mazurka, polka are only some of the most common couple dances, which are widespread in many parts of Europe.<\/p>\n
Only through constant change and renewal does a dance festival (or bal folk) remain as good as it once was. Dance music has evolved creatively since the folk revival of the last decades, not only in France, Ireland or Scandinavia. In German-speaking countries, too, there has been a colorful music and dance scene for some years now, inspired by the traditional music of our neighboring countries and equally rooted in our own musical past.<\/p>\n
These newly composed dance pieces in “modern\/trad. – Volume 1” with a view beyond the horizon are thus in the best tradition of ‘new German folk dance music’.<\/p>\n
Dance music should go to the legs, should not be cerebral, should sound light and yet not banal. In the selection, therefore, emphasis was placed above all on good playability and the fun of making music together. All melodies in “modern\/trad. – Volume 1” are provided with accompanying chords, some are set for several voices and are suitable for the usual instruments. As far as the key and range are concerned, care has been taken in most cases to ensure that they can also be played by drone instruments such as bagpipes or hurdy-gurdy (in G-C tuning).<\/p>\n
The book “modern\/trad. – Volume 1” comes with an excellent accompanying CD, recorded by the Duo Cassard, on which all the melodies can be played.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
