Johann Strauss II (1825-1899) - the height of the Viennese ballroom; a fast and lively Bohemian dance of Polish origin, danced to traditional German 'oom-pah' music in 2/4 time. The basic movement is characterised by three steps and a hop.

Molto Allegro e vivace, op 19 No 3

Building anthem with plaintive solo cello development.

Bossa nove - medium tempo

Bright, breezy, uptempo, tender acoustic folk featuring acoustic guitar, electric piano, mandolin, glockenspiel, bass and cymbals

Quirky, emotive, slow-building bright piece with lyrical piano, stirring strings and twinkly glockenspiel

Insistent drumbeats and emerging poignant strings.

Dark suspense

Colourful and positive: bright acoustic guitar gradually builds with glistening steel pan and synth rhythms and a steady dance beat
