Following on from the considerable and continued success of Paul’s Five English Dances for Brass Quintet comes Three Russian Folk Songs arranged in this delightful suite with all the creative juices and imagination that are evidence in the Five English Dances.
 
Sandwich between the gorgeous melodic strengths of the middle movement Do Not Awaken My Memories are two lively Russian folk songs. First up is Along The Peterskaya Road and the suite ends with one of Russia’s most well loved folk songs The Valley given an imaginative and energetic ⅝ treatment.
 
An enjoyable challenge to play and an audience delight.
