8.5 x 11 inches.

The 1818 publication of Francis Johnson's A Collection of New Cotillions marks the first known publication of original music by a black composer in the United States. A prolific composer, instrumentalist, teacher and conductor, Johnson led a varied and successful career in an era in U.S. history that was not inviting to black professionals. His musical interests ranged from the contemporary works of Johann Strauss Jr. to traditional, popular dances.

The cotillion is a French country dance that was popular in Europe and America in the 18th century. It was originally danced by four couples in square formation and was an important influence in the development of the square dance in the United States. Francis Johnson composed two sets of six piano accompaniments for this dance. The original 1818 publication even included movement instructions for the eight dancers. The short and charming melodies that he composed are a fitting example of popular dance music of the time.

This transcription may be performed as a piano solo, with the piano as a non-solistic instrument within the ensemble or without piano at all. If it is to be a piano solo, the other instruments should not play the passages marked “opt. tacet (optional tacet). If the piano will not be treated soloistically, the conductor can have some or all of the “opt. tacet passages played at their discretion. When there is no piano involved in the performance ,all instrumentalists should ignore the “opt. tacet instruction and play everything.

We are often so focused on presenting the entire ensemble that it’s easy to forget we can also program solo feature pieces. There are so many reasons to do just that. It rewards that special player who has been working so hard. It sets an example for other players in the section. It provides a nice contrast regardless of what else is programmed. Be sure to put on the demonstration CD found in this catalog and hear Flight of Fancy for yourself. We’re sure you’ll like it.Scintillating!

Met Flight of Fancy kunt u een solist (fluit of mallets) in de schijnwerpers plaatsen. We zijn zo vaak gericht op het orkest als geheel dat we wel eens vergeten om solowerken te programmeren, maar er zijn redenen te over omdat te doen. U kunt er een goede, hardwerkende muzikant mee belonen en anderen kunnen er een voorbeeld aan nemen. Bovendien creëert u een aangenaam contrast in uw concertprogramma. Deze muziek illustreert de vlucht die de verbeeldingskrachtvan een mens kan nemen - dan weer zorgeloos en grillig, dan weer beschouwend, maar altijd boeiend.

Gibt es in Ihrem Blasorchester einen Flötisten oder Malletspieler, der sich mit Fleiß und Hingabe in der wöchentlichen Orchesterarbeit einen besonderen Auftritt im nächsten Konzert verdient hat? Flight of Fancy von Timothy Johnson ist eine wundervolle Gelegenheit, wahlweise einen Flötisten oder Malletspieler mit einem nicht allzu schweren Solostück ins Rampenlicht zu rücken!
