Product Description
A selection of Dances by Mozart, Handel and Purcell, arranged for String Trio.
This selection of dances started off as a commission for a costume ball: I originally arranged them for quartet for the event, but I have now also arranged them for trio as they have proven quite popular.
They are all beautiful movements from works by well known composers (Water Music, Alcina, Ariodante, Abdelazer, etc), but not the "usual suspects", so they are a good way of adding a bit of a refresh to the classical selection.
This selection of dances are perfect for background music for any event, or for a costume ball, or even for dancing to, 18th century style.
