Three Country Dances by Ignatius Sancho for Oboe & Bassoon/Bari Sax/Bass Clarinet |
On Walmer Beach is an original work, whilst Three Country Dances is my new transcription of three short pieces by ex-slave British composer Ignatius Sancho. They are beautiful dances (one reel, one courtly dance and one jig) - and the back story behind their composition is quite remarkable. Videos of both works can be viewed on their Feature Pages.
Please let me know your required instrumentation. Many thanks.
