Programme Note by the composer:
DANCE SUITE is a set of Baroque dances for the 21st century. At its core, classical music has always been dance music - gigues, allemandes, polkas and waltzes run through the canon from start to finish - so this piece channels the sounds of the contemporary dance floor into a set of four songs. Each with its own character and each with a quick side eye back to the original Baroque form that inspired it.
The songs are about flirting, f*cking and fighting, the messy tangle of emotions found on the dance floor at 2am. There’s joy, intimacy, fear and loathing, but they’re all wrapped up in the intense heat of flashing strobes, pounding feet and shaking subs.
