This is originally a piece from A.Lowery’s printed collection “The Elements of Ballet” for the ballet schools’ accompanists. There are 2 variants of the piece: 1) the humorous electronic version (Singing Frogs), 2) and this one – for two pianos. The piano version has a faster tempo, but somehow in an unhurried, measured pace, and it has a different flavor to it. It is also playful and happy, but not as comical and grotesque, as its electronic counterpart.

Blue tag = for a demonstration only; not for sale. This piece was conceived as a movement of a suite for oboe and orchestra (III, Scherzo). Its dancy character and theatrical imagery gives a positive association with a scene from a ballet. Lush orchestration helps create a powerful and festive climax.
The excerpt between 1:01 and 1:14 strongly associates with a festive event like a victory or a massive celebration, and could, probably, be used separately.
Acoustic oboe (Eugene Sidorov), symphony orchestra, carillon // Length 02:02, 184 bpm, 4/4
