Joy Dance, by Scott Watson, musically conveys an unrestrained expression of happiness and exhilaration. Inspired by David's ecstatic dance of praise in 2 Samuel 6:14 (And David danced before the Lord with all his might...), the piece combines artifacts of popular and contemporary music, including bold syncopations, a driving 5/4 meter groove, and use of contemporary and gospel harmonies. A large percussion section (7 players, including two mallet parts and timpani) adds essential color and energy. Whether it's worship, thankfulness, celebration, or blissful abandon, this composition reflects the radiant rejoicing of those who revel in all life's goodness! (4:10).

Cortège, Choral et Farandole is a piece that any band, regardless of its level, will enjoy performing. Special attention has been paid to the choice of its tonality, to its register and to its orchestration to make it accessible. The work has three movements: Cortege - solemn in character and expressive through its majestic pace and tone, Choral - more serene and Farandole - a lively movement overflowing with cheerfulness and rejoicing.

Cortège, Choral et Farandole ist eines der Werke, die für jedes Orchester, unabhängig von seinem Niveau, reines Spielvergnügen bedeuten. André Waignein hat grooßen Wert auf die Wahl der tonarten, die Lage und die Besetzung gelegt, um es besonders gut spielbar zu machen.Das Werk ist in drei Sätze unterteilt.Der erste, Cortège, wirkt von Anfang an durch einen majestätischen Schritt und Ton sehr feierlich.Der zweite Satz, Choral, ist in seinem Charakter heiterer und lädt zur Meditation ein. Farandole, der Dritte Satz, wirkt dagegen lebhaft. Vom ersten Takt an ist er voll überschäumender Fröhlickkeit, Jubel und Lebensfreude.
