Transatlantic Dance was commissioned in 2016 by a consortium of organisations headed by the United Nations International School Senior Wind Ensemble. Echoing the inclusive and international outlook of the wider United Nations organisation the piece seeks to promote co-operation and enjoyment in music making through the setting of three distinct national themes into a piece of energetic light music. The Canadian and American melodies Oh Canada and America the Beautiful are slowly unveiled as the work builds to a triumphant climax, while the Welsh melody Men of Harlech is consistently woven through the work as a tongue in cheek counter melody. Musical material has been chosen to represent each of the consortium bands.
Percussionists are offered the chance to shine in a ‘drum line’ and drum kit feature. Material has been timed for percussionists to walk from the rear of the band and perform the ‘drum line’ section at the front of the stage should this be desired; the drum kit and and timpani players should remain seated.
Difficulty: Grade 2/3
Duration: c. 3 minutes
