Slavonic Dances

Elliot Del Borgo, composer

Slavonic Dances is a single-movement work with five contrasting sections. Del Borgo based this work on five Slavonic folk tunes: Yelenka, Czardas, The Ferryman of Okhrida, Love’s My Permit, and The Husser. These folk songs provide the material for this colorful and energetic symphonic statement. The contrasting moods of each section vividly display the vigor and passion of Slavonic peasant life.
