The cakewalk
is a dance that was
popular in the late
nineteenth-century and
indicative of the ragtime
style, which was the
precursor to Jazz. This
piece contains the
well-known cakewalk
rhythm as the basis of
all of the melodic and
accompanying material. In
typical Carl Strommen
fashion, the piece is
tuneful, well-scored and
fun!.
The
“Cakewalkâ€,
also known as the
“Walkaroundâ€
or “Prize
Walks,†was a late
nineteenth-century
Southern dance form set
to the infectious, even
eighth-note pulse of
Ragtime. A partner dance,
judges would evaluate the
elegant bearing of the
men, the gracefulness of
the women and the
inventiveness of the pair
of dancers. The last
remaining pair
(“winnersâ€)
would often be presented
with an elaborately
decorated cake.Devoted
exclusively to the sixth
grade, the Silas Wood
school is named after
Silas Wood
(1769–1847), who
was elected to the United
State Congress for five
terms representing the
Long island, New York
district within Suffolk
County and the Town of
Huntington.
