Romania boasts an endless wealth of folk music and culture. While the music of the north still sounds familiar to West-European ears, it becomes gradually faster and fierier towards the south. The six movements of Romanian Dances consist of various folk songs collected and arranged by the composer, and represent a cross section of styles from dances with stomping and drumming to dances associated with prayer. This suite includes:
Movement 2: Batuta 1 (A dance with stomping and drumming)
Movement 3: Colinda (New Year's dance)
Movement 4: Jocuri (Game dances)
Movement 5: Apsanescu (a circle dance that contains de invirtit, or dancing gradually faster and faster in circles)
Romanian Dances is also available in the following editions:
