Dance of the Jewellery Box is a short two-part piece that was composed with the purpose to be easy to learn. It is playable on any instrument that has a least a one octave (C-C) range, with no “black” notes. I happened to use, and be inspired by, a small Celtic-type harp, but anything will do.

The piece uses repetition of patterns as it basis, so once a pattern is learned, that learning can be used again and again as the work progresses. Once the two halves of the tune are played they are then used together, with perhaps some minimal variation, to make a piece that has some substance to it.

The piece takes about a minute to perfom.

Why “Dance of the Jewellery Box”?

This is just the image that came into my head as I was writing it, an elegant dance. There is no reason at all why it can’t be used as pure music or to portray what ever comes into your head.
