Sword Dance

Set in 4/4 time, in a minor, modal setting, and played in a quick, vivace tempo, this dramatic piece combines many touches, accents, and bold dynamics throughout. Most of the keyboard is utilized, there are no accidentals, and the melodic rhythms are quick combinations of eighth and sixteenth notes. A Federation Festivals 2016-2020 selection.
