Aztec Dances was commissioned by Christopher Orton with the assistance of the BBC Performing Arts Fund.

Ritual/Pastorale2. Fertility Dance3. Ghost Dance/Song4. Sacrificial Dance Composer's Note The idea for the genesis of thiswork and indeed its title and individual movements came after visiting an exhibition at the British Museum entitled Moctezuma ?Aztec Ruler. The exhibition traced the events following the election in 1502 of Moctezuma as Supreme Ruler of the Aztecs and the subsequent invasion of 1519 by a Spanish expedition led by Hermán Cortés ? an event that was to eventually lead to the demise of the Aztec civilisation.Part of the exhibition explored the role that music and dance played in Aztec life. The primitive recorder together with trumpets and drums were used as an important part of the formal ritual ceremonies (including rather gruesomely human sacrifice) that took place to appease the many Gods which the Aztecs worshipped as well as for other more informal occasions in their social and cultural life.I have tried to reflect some of these highly contrasting and dramatic ideas in this four movement work.        Edward Gregson

Die Spanischen Tänze op.12 wurden ursprünglich für vierhändiges Klavier geschrieben, nach dem großen Erfolg jedoch auch für andere Besetzungen bearbeitet, unter anderem von Wilhelm Popp für Flöte und Klavier. Leider verzichtete Popp (aus nicht nachvollziehbaren Gründen) auf eine Bearbeitung des außerordentlich brillanten 3.Tanzes. Dieser wurde hier zusammen mit den beiden ersten Tänzen neu für Flöte und Klavier bearbeitet, wobei der 3. Tanz aus Rücksicht auf ein ausgewogenes spieltechnisches Niveau aller hier bearbeiteten Tänze von A-Dur nach G-Dur transponiert wurde. So wird die Flötenliteratur mit diesen wunderbaren Tänzen wieder um eine Kostbarkeit bereichert.
