Virginia dances, op. 3

East Tennesse State University Chamber Orchestra
This recording is free to download here.
These six dances for string orchestra are influenced by the style and enthusiasms of Baber’s teacher, John Powell, whose own music is deeply influenced by the folk music of Virginia. This folk quality and the lack of extreme difficulty make these dances suitable for young players. A few of the dances are original melodies which imitate Powell's style, a couple are on melodies given by Powell, and at least two are influenced by similar dances of Brahms and Dvořák.
