For the particular selection that your child's ballet class is using, please ask his or her instructor...:)
An artist's review of this musical selection:
"If you enjoy traditional/baroque folk music of the British
Isles, unadorned by vocals, and sparsely orchestrated so that each note shines
through, this music deserves your rapt attention. I would
compare this to the best of British 16th and 17th Century "roots" music from the
likes of The Broadside Band, Hesperus, Chatham Baroque and the Baltimore Consort
- which is distinguished company to be in indeed! Even the numerous
very upbeat pieces have a certain gentle refinement to them that transports one
to imaginary Elizabethan times."
The artist, Shelley
Phillips, whose talents include playing the harp, recorder, oboe, English horn and whistle, received her M.M.
from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. In addition to performing and
recording in the San Francisco and Monterey Bay Areas, she is director of the
Santa Cruz Community Music School. She is a member of the Narnian Consort,
Coulter/Phillips Ensamble, the Shaker Ensemble and the Anjali Quartet. We are delighted to listen and share her music. You can purchase her music at the link above...:)
