El Dabh/Coven-Belly Dance Classic (SP)-P/FL/OB/CL/FH/BN/CB - Product Information
Belly Dance Classic was created by Halim El-Dabh and Charles J. Coven employing traditional Arabic rhythms and drumming sonorities that are open to improvisation. The piece commences with a mysterious slow crescendo that increases in dynamics into an energetic dance of life and harmony. The interaction between linear lines reflects the life that is found in conception in a woman's belly.
Belly Dance Classic is written for flute, oboe, clarinet, horn, bassoon, maracas, tambourine or zills, 2 djembes, 3 or 4 derabucca, and double bass. Other percussion instruments may be added for improvisation. The woodwind parts can be substituted or combined with other instruments in order to create the performers own interpretation of the work.
