This

by Michael Story is part
of our Belwin FLEX
offerings and is designed
with maximum flexibility
for use by any mix of
instruments---wind,
strings, and percussion,
including like- or
mixed-ensembles with as
few as 3 players. The
suggested instrumentation
and a customizable
Teacher Map will help you
plan out how to best
assign parts to suit your
ensemble's needs. The
3-part instrumentation
will support balanced
instrumentation of the
lower voices. It also
comes with supplemental
parts for maximum
flexibility. With the
purchase of this piece,
permission is granted to
photocopy the parts as
needed for your ensemble.
A percussion
accompaniment track is
also available as a free
download. String parts
have been carefully
edited with extra
fingerings and
appropriate bowings to
support students in mixed
ensembles playing in less
familiar keys.
The Dragon Dance
is a popular event in
traditional Chinese
culture, especially
during Chinese New Year
celebrations. Originating
during the Han Dynasty
(206 B.C.-200 A.D), the
dance is carried out by a
team of performers that
carry the dragon on
poles, fluidly mimicking
its supposed movements.
Drums, cymbals, and gongs
usually provide the
musical accompaniment to
this beautiful and
colorful performance.
