Three Cinematic Sketches

Three Cinematic Sketches for Flute (or Oboe), Bassoon and Piano by David Baker

Piano score and parts

I. Foxtrot: Silent Comedy

II.  Tango: Film Noir

III. Waltz: RKO Movies

Each dance is a sketch portraying a different ‘Movie’ genre; The black and white comedy of the silent era in the Foxtrot.  Memories of Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton.  The darkness of ‘Film Noir’ in the seductive Tango.  (Humphry Bogart and Lauren Bacall).  Finally, a lavish set; put on your top hat and tails, your beautiful dress, and dance before a huge studio orchestra!
