Balalaika!

Description

• Composer: James Meredith
• Publisher: Carl Fischer

A Balalaika is a type of Russian folk stringed instrument. They come in a variety of sizes and can have full orchestras of these instruments. The music they play has a distinctly Russian folk music sound and composerJames Meredith has worked to present this style in a modern concert piece. The work is a festive dance-like piece and contains quotes throughout of famous Tchaikovsky themes in order to help give it that Russian flavour. Balalaika is a different and refreshing choice for your next concert.
