Ballet Class in America - Vol III
by Stephen Barnes
from the "Create a Class" Series
All Original Piano music for the Ballet Class
Very
lyric and sensitive - creating a fluid and ethereal world.
Volume III - Many
Adagio Selections
17 tracks plus an additional piece: "Three
Pictures from the Heartland" (3 'Reverence Pieces combined into a thought
- for choreography/performances.)
Plus
a booklet of exercise and
combination suggestions for each track
and an additional Ballet Class in
America idea note pad.
|
As with all Create a Class CDs, this disc does not make up and complete ballet class. Rather, it is a continuing library of musical ideas created at the source - the ballet classroom. The selections composed in Volume 3 are beautiful adagios, with additional musical selections for classroom center work. |
"Stephen create a magical ambience that is so subtle not even professional dancers realize his music has completely focused their bodies and their concentration. With Steve at the piano, I feel like a great teacher." Francia Russell, Artistic Director, Pacific Northwest Ballet
"Stephen Barnes is among a handful of master accompanists whose music enhances and compliments a ballet class. A rare talent!" Suki Shorer, School of American Ballet
Excerpts from Create a Class, Vol 1 were used in long time PNB principal dancer, Patricia Barker's video, Patricia Barker, On Pointe Shoes
