C4U C4U Spirit Of The Dance 1In this unique project, two of the UK's finest virtuoso musicians, pianist Geoff Eales and flautist Andy Findon, come together to produce cues which celebrate the life-enhancing qualities of dance. Sometimes the dance gyrates ferociously at break-neck speed. Other times it is the epitome of charm, grace and eloquence. Then there is the dance of slow seduction. But, whatever the mood or tempo, the passion and spirit of the music never wanes. In addition to the main, full versions of each cue and in order to maintain the integrity of the music, we offer a number of useful shorter versions in various durations. |
