listen.about.Young ensembles and their audiences will find a delightful mixture of challenge, excitement, and grace in this short triptych by Beth Ratay, which features a variety of singable melodies and syncopated rhythms.
Czech Folk Song Suite was the first commission I ever received, from my middle school band director Robert Chapman, who has since retired. I based the three movements on Czech folk songs from a small anthology I found in the University of Colorado music library. I chose Czech music because of my love of the music of Bedřich Smetana, whose music my Czech grandfather loved.
