    Two contrasting dances are linked, creating a classic ternary form. The first dance has a driving rhythm and repeated accents. A four-bar solo bridge leads to the succeeding dance with a graceful, modal theme. The Two Courtly Dances are easy to play yet catchy and appealing to various ages. The piece has four string lines and an optional piano. The viola doubles either the first or second violins throughout.

    Two Courtly Dances (Grade 1.5) for String Orchestra by Keith Sharp

    Two contrasting dances are connected with the return of the first one, creating a classic ternary form. The first dance has a driving rhythm, featuring an energetic quaver pulse and repeated syncopated accents. A quintet or piano solo bridge that lasts four bars changes the mood and leads to the succeeding dance. This dance has a graceful, modal theme that encourages the pursuit of pure tone and emulates early Baroque airs or trios.

    Thanks to the easy finger patterns, the Two Courtly Dances can be confidently played by musicians of a relatively elementary standard. However, the piece is deceptively catchy, and its dance rhythms appeal to various ages. Established players can brush the quavers off the string. The piece has four principal string lines and an optional piano. The viola doubles either the first or second violins throughout.
