    Everyone's favourite!

    This score represents just one way of performing the piece, which is suitable for a 'mix'n'match' treatment. It works well as a duet between parts M1 & M2; M1 and M3; M1 and the descant; M1 and A1, as well as in various trio combinations.

     Sound 123 (124) on a General Midi keyboard is 'Bird'. On a good instrument, this sound can be triggered freely, allowing a young or disabled child to make an effective contribution to the performance. (Although, in this way, almost anyone can produce pleasing sounds, there is scope for the more sympathetic musician to shape this contribution, enhancing its effect.)

    PFX007/ Parnatanc/ Score (Magyar Traditional)
    Skeleton score, from which to build ad-hoc arrangements. Two of the suggested parts are very easy. 

    This is a traditional Hungarian 'pillow' dance. It would be sung and danced by the young girls of the village when they presented a bride-to-be with embroidered linen for her trousseau. Each section is repeated many times. Originally, a pillow dance would have been unaccompanied but, in the more recent instrumental versions, variety is obtained by having the melody played on different instruments. When played by a soloist, it can be freely ornamented. Players should experiment with their own ad-hoc arrangements of this tune, rather than everyone playing all the time.

    PFX008/ Veterans' Dance/ Score (Magyar Traditional)
    Skeleton score, from which to build ad-hoc arrangements. One of the suggested parts is very easy.

    This is a slow dance suited to the pace of older villagers, hence the title - "Veteran's Dance". The slow tempo also affords an opportunity for the bass instruments to take a solo spot. Preferably, everyone should memorise the parts, as this makes for greater flexibility in the ad-hoc arrangements. Players can also improvise their own parts, as suggested in the score.
