Danceries Set II, arranged for brass band, was first commission by
Keith Allen for the Birmingham Symphonic Winds. This second set of
Danceries continues the format, established in the popular
Danceries (Set I), of using tunes and dances from Playford's
Dancing Master (17th century) to form the basis of an extended
dancesuite. In this set, the melodies have become more abstracted
and project only a distant echo of their original forms. As before,
each movement is self-contained, colourful and direct, with its own
distinct mood. The outer movements - Jennie's Bawbee and Peascod's
Galliarda - share driving percussion with a military air. Tom
Tinker's Toye and Heart's Ease (movements two and three) are both
settings of original melodies. All movements are more extended than
in the first set, with a freer use and approach to the material;
melodies now occur in various keys and are supported by a greater
variety of harmonic colouring. The result is a richer, even more
exhilarating set of dances.
