Les Matadors
Composers:- Sancho, Ignatius
- Morales, Dion
Duration: 1
Description:
Les Matadors represents an English country dance from Ignatius Sancho’s “Minuets Cotillons & Country Dances” for the Violin, Mandolin, German Flute, & Harpsichord, originally published in 1775. Sancho’s original Les Matadors piece is accompanied only by a second instrument in quarter and half notes. Dión Morales arranged Les Matadors employing two-part writing in D major for string orchestra, exploring interesting dynamics, and conversations between groups of two instruments. Accents and skips hold the students’ attention as they learn 2/4 time. Students’ imaginations will create a Matador, in his colorful and grand traje de luces or “suit of lights,” posturing with the bull in the arena.
