About the Piece:
Festive Dances is a vibrant, energetic piece where everyone gets the chance to play
something interesting. The piece starts with a toe-tapping country dance with a simple
yet captivating tune. At letter D the music transitions into what can be described as an
'acrobatic dance' driven by a robust cello and bass ostinato. Eventually, a brief
presentation of the original theme is heard again, this time in canon. An extended
passage of quavers follows, which transitions back to the original theme bringing the
piece to a spirited conclusion. Festive Dances is sure to leave both players and
listeners in a happy frame of mind!
About the Composer:
Henry Jarvela graduated with a Bachelor of Music (Cello performance) from the Qld
Conservatorium, Griffith University, in 2019. As a performer, Henry has been a member of
both the Qld and Australian Youth Orchestras, as well as local community groups. Henry
has had an interest in composing from a young age and a number of his pieces have been
performed by students in his local community. Since graduating, Henry has become more
involved in the teaching and mentoring of young string players both privately and in a school and community context.
