{"product_id":"belle-of-the-ball-for-band-1","title":"Belle of the Ball — for Band","description":"\u003cp\u003eLike most of Leroy Anderson's efforts, \u003ci\u003eBelle of the Ball\u003c\/i\u003e is light, effervescent, and devoid of conflict or disharmony. Anderson looked upon the piece as a modern-day American revival -- or revitalization -- of the Viennese waltz tradition. Having said that, the main theme sounds rather unlike a Strauss waltz, but the voice of Tchaikovsky is evident in its playful, fantasy-like character. The melody is rhythmic and comes in short groups of notes, beginning with two notes, then three, then expanding further; the music skates along elegantly. The middle section features a delightful variation on the theme, in which Anderson's gentle-belled sonorities impart a playful innocence. This exclusive Southern band edition by Mark Rogers reintroduces Anderson's enchanting work to new generations of audiences.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Southern Music Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53488277258558,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/1396\/9982\/files\/00757837-wl.jpg?v=1778734966","url":"https:\/\/themusiciansclub.net\/products\/belle-of-the-ball-for-band-1","provider":"The Musicians Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
