These light orchestral dances were inspired primarily by Elizabethan models as well as the
pastoral music of early 20th century English composers. They were premiered in 1969 with
the Bronx Symphony Orchestra and Michael Spierman, conductor.
The work is one of Rosner’s easier orchestral pieces (with generally homophonic textures and
straightforward rhythms) and is thus highly suitable for student or community orchestras.
