String Quartet No. 3: Apochryphal Dances

For String Quintet

Allemande pour Tout le Monde celebrates the international history of this dance that has long transcended its nationalistic title. The piece combines rhythmic elements of the traditional German-inspired French dance allemande, the vocabulary of country fiddling (“allemand” is a term in square dancing and sometimes a genre of fiddle tunes), and eventually, a rhythmic groove from the influential German electronic dance band Kraftwerk. All of these components are cheerfully blended in this short work to honor the continuum of the dance music tradition. This work was commissioned and premiered by Sybarite5 in 2015.
