Manuel de Falla, Suite No. 2 from The Three-Cornered Hat
This ballet suite, brimming with bright colors and crisp rhythms, captures the soul of Spanish music, dancing and folk traditions.

Maurice Ravel, Mother Goose Suite
One of Ravel’s “greatest hits”, this exquisite collection of short pieces was inspired by the enchanting world of children’s fairy tales from seventeenth and eighteenth-century France.

Antonín Dvořák, Slavonic Dance No. 7
Through his unique interpretation of Serbian folk music, Dvořák takes listeners to the village green in an extroverted, rhythm-driven dance.

Antonín Dvořák, Symphony No. 8
Described as “sun-drenched”, “rustic” and “pastoral”, Dvořák’s musical tribute to his Bohemian homeland evokes an idyllic summer’s day complete with birdsongs and hunting horn calls.
