Additional info/contents	The 'Cake Walk' is - just like the 'Quickstep'; the 'Schottisch'; the 'Rag' and the 'Quadrille'- a popular American dance from the second half of the last century. Both the rhythmic and the melodic structure of the Cake Walk display a clear relationship with ragtime and jazz and even a composer like Claude Debussy has availed himself of these influences in his music ('Le petit Nègre' and 'Golliwogg's Cake Walk'). The word 'Cake Walk' has yet another meaning in Holland; it is the name of a well-known centre of attraction at a fair: a system of planks and stairs - continuously moving up and down - devised to 'test' the fairgoer's sense of equilibrium. The same goes for this composition: the frequent changes in metrum - from even to odd - really call for a 'rhythmic equilibrium' of both conductor and orchestra! The "Cake Walk Phantasy" was originally written for brass music and was scheduled as a 'compulsory piece' at the big VARA Brass Band Festival 1983 in Dronten (Netherlands). At the request of composer Peter Milray, Johan de Meij created an arrangement for harmony and brass orchestra. It is a cheerful, powerful work with, as already said, many rhythmic effects and a 'bluesy' trombone solo in the quiet middle section. 1 Full Score - 2 Soprano Saxophone - 4 Alto Saxophone I + II - 2 Tenor Saxophone - 1 Baritone Saxophone - 6 Bugel Solo + I - 4 Flugelhorn II - 4 Flugelhorn III - 1 Cornet Eb - 2 Trumpet I - 2 Trumpet II - 4 Trumpet III + IV - 1 Horn I F/Eb - 1 Horn II F/Eb - 1 Horn III F/Eb - 1 Horn IV F/Eb - 2 Trombone I C - 1 Trombone I Bb (BC/TC) - 2 Trombone II C - 1 Trombone II Bb (BC/TC) - 2 Trombone III C - 1 Trombone III Bb (BC/TC) - 2 Baritone I + II C (BC) - 2 Baritone III Bb (BC/TC) - 2 Bas Bb (BC/TC) - 2 Bas Eb (BC/TC) - 2 Tuba C - 1 Stringbass - 1 Percussion Radiotrack
