A selection of rough recordings, so you may experience our style:
Frisky Brisket
Hora of BUCOVINA.
Ukrainian: Буковина.
a Joc, slow Romanian circle dance.
From a region of Central Europe, currently divided between Romania and Ukraine, located on the northern slopes of the central Eastern Carpathian's, and the adjoining plains. This is the ancestral homeland of Tanya’s Ukrainian Maternal Grandmother, so obviously we had to learn this tune. In this version we successfully held ourselves back from the frenetic pace we easily slip into, still a little brisk for the traditional Romanian style.
This drawing was done by
Tanya’s mother, Shirley Gaines.
Villa Rosa-
A Venezuelan waltz composed by
Marcario Gonzales.
We have played it fast
and we have played it slow.
We like it both ways.
Dulce Aprile
SWEET APRIL.
A Mazurka.
The German word for a Lively Polish Dance,
in 3/4, as rendered by an Italian:
G. Caropresi, in 1913
Chasing my own tail.
An original composition that Tanya calls a:
“GYPSY HORNPIPE.”
Les Poules Huppées
& Am Bourrée
“The Crested Hens”
Composed by Gilles Chabenat, a Breton Hurdy Gurdy player. We transition this jaunty tune into a Bourrée of unknown origin.
The Santorini Swing.
A new spontaneous composition by Frisky Brisket,
in 7/8.
Dedicated to
the Ancient moon & star shaped volcanic Greek isle.
