Haieff: Dance Suite from The Pricess Zondilda and her Entourage

Description

This ballet was composed for Mr. Merce Cunningham and his group of dancers. The little ballet of an abstract nature was divided into three parts: fast, slow, fast, with non-sensical fragments of phrases spoken by the dancers between the three movements. The choice of instruments was dictated by the desire to achieve greater variety of sonority with a limited number of instruments.
