The Sultry Swan, Dan Price, Cornet with Brass Band

The Sultry Swan - Cornet with Brass Band Accompaniment - Dan Price

The Sultry Swan is a slow melody that has two clearly defined musical ideas in its construction. The introduction and first theme are lyrical in texture and evoke images of the river bank, the water gently ebbing to and fro whilst the swan glides gracefully across its glassy surface. Although there are no other birds as elegant as the swan in water, there are also none as comical out of it, and in contrast the second theme reflects the natural waddle of the swan when it is on dry land. A laid back solo for a lazy Sunday afternoon.
