Aranjuez
In Season 1 we explored music that makes us want to dance. The Risingholme Orchestra of Christchurch is playing three pieces that are about dance too but, are different, Instead of music we could almost dance TO it is music we can WATCH others dance. In other words music from original ballets. When we listen to just the music from the ballet we might still be able to feel the joyful and graceful movement of the
dancers and feel that motion in our selves as well.
