Wedding Dance (1955/1967)
Jacques Press

Jacques Press's Wedding Dance is a spirited horah or traditional Jewish circle dance, from his symphonic suite Hasseneh ("The Wedding"). Composed in 1955 and arranged for band in 1967 by Herbert Johnston, this lively piece displays an infectious energy and quick tempo. With whirling woodwind lines and memorable melodies, the work exudes a fiery energy and relentless pulse.
