DANCE FANTASY (formerly “Dance Overture”) (1986) (Pub.2002) Galaxy 1.3262 Study Score
3(Picc)–3(EH)–3–2,Cbsn / 4–3–3–1 / Timp, Perc, Cel, Hp / Strings                  (10'00")

Composed in 1986, Dance Fantasy had its first perfromance in May, 1987, by the Houston (TX) Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Sergiu Comissiona.

George Perle says of Dance Fantasy in a 1989 interview for its Carnegie Hall premiere performance, "The work was conceived as a statement of homage to the art of ballet. My discovery of ballet, just over 50 years ago at the Auditorium Theater in Chicago during the annual tour of the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, suddenly added a new dimension to the way I heard and responded to music, a dimension that I believe has affected the character of my work as a composer ever since. Dance Fantasy is music for an imaginary plotless ballet, and it pays its respects, with a quotation of four bars from the second movement of Stravinsky's Firebird Suite, to a composer whose whole career, from its very inception, was intimately and crucially involved with the ballet. These four bars, which appear just before the final cadential passage, are more than a quote, however, since they play a structural role in the moto perpetuo which forms the concluding episode, and were chosen precisely because of their suitability for this role."

Full score and parts are available on rental from the publisher.
