Product Description

This movement is the fourth of five dance portraits (collectively titled Musique SABA) commemorating the Southern Academy of Ballet Arts (S.A.B.A.) and its performing company, Pas de Vie, of Tallahassee, Florida. The piece originates from 2003 when composed for the dancer Seah Hagan's first piano lesson, devoted to just two notes, at age four. Fittingly enough, the left-hand part embeds musical ciphers suggested by the syllables of her name, as "Se-ah" using forms of the pitches C and A, including in a simple way playable by the novice. Meanwhile, the right-hand part, as if for the "teacher," quotes Tchaikovsky's "Waltz of the Flowers"--a borrowing itself punning since drawn from Casse-noisette (1892). The new, playful waltz lasts about forty seconds.
