<strong>Danses</strong> <strong>à</strong> <strong>la</strong> <strong>mode</strong><br />
for violoncello<br />
<strong>op</strong>. <strong>101</strong> (1994)
Arnold <strong>Rosner</strong><br />
<strong>Danses</strong> <strong>à</strong> <strong>la</strong> <strong>mode</strong><br />
1. À <strong>la</strong> Greque 4<br />
2. Raga 6<br />
3. Sarabande 10<br />
4. Musique du Nord 12<br />
During his years on the faculty of Kingsborough Community College, <strong>Rosner</strong><br />
began to teach various courses in ethnomusicology, which provided an impetus<br />
for him to investigate the music of many countries and cultures. These explorations<br />
bore fruit in a number of his own compositions, including <strong>Danses</strong> <strong>à</strong> <strong>la</strong><br />
<strong>mode</strong>. In addition to the obvious musical reference (modal music, important in<br />
both the ethnic music of many cultures and <strong>Rosner</strong>’s own <strong>la</strong>nguage), the title is<br />
also a bit tongue-in-cheek, given <strong>Rosner</strong>’s lifelong interest in all matters culinary.<br />
The first movement À <strong>la</strong> Greque is in a fast 7/8 meter, with inflections characteristic<br />
of Greek folk music. Even before his teaching days, <strong>Rosner</strong> was interested<br />
in Indian music, and its influence appeared in a few of his compositions, including<br />
the second movement of this suite, as well as the concert band work RAGA!,<br />
a much more extended exploration of the raga concept. The third movement,<br />
Sarabande, pays homage to the baroque dance form. Musique du Nord evokes<br />
Scandinavian dance music.<br />
