SLAVIC MINIATURES by Joel Blahník is a five movement work with Slavic motifs in the style of a small symphony. Each movement is a separate entity and may be combined with any other movement. Drama, lyricism and layering of folk songs provides an intriguing sound spectrum enhanced with tasteful Percussion. Perfect tool for teaching history and cultures (Russian and Czech motifs used). Each movement is a separate entity and may be combined with any other movement. Wonderful drama, lyricism and layering of folk songs! Concert Band.
