New Release: Christmas Csárdás

 
£29.50

Christmas Csárdás is a traditional Hungarian folk dance, the name deriving from ‘csárda’ an old Hungarian term for a roadside tavern The csárdás is characterized by several variations in tempo, usually starting slowly it gradually gains tempo, with moments where the brakes are suddenly applied for a moment of repose, then again gains tempo and ends in a very fast and fresh finale. The dancers are both male and female, with the women dressed in traditional wide skirts, which form a distinctive shape when they whirl. This quirky arrangement of Jingle Bells starting in the traditional czardas minor mode eventually has a fresh atmospheric modulation into the tonic major, and races away for a truly festive finale.
