THE VICTORIAN DANCE

The Victorian Dance is a collection of lively music that captures the flavor of the 19th century dance hall. Performed by The Brassworks Band directed by Franklin Beau Davis, this CD offers a delightful selection of nineteen period pieces, ranging from the majesty of the Grand March to the whimsey of Forget Your Wife Waltz and the cacaphonous whirling--and accompanying screams--during Sellenger's Round. Besides such fun, The Victorian Dance provides an aural window into the past. The seldom-performed and rarely recorded Sir Roger de Coverley is of historical importance as the only dance tune mentioned in all of Charles Dickens' literature. This music is played as the Ghost of Christmas Past shows Ebenezer Scrooge a Christmas party at Fezziwig's warehouse.
