This jig appears to be unique to Francis O'Neill's collection The Dance Music Of Ireland, published in Chicago in 1907. It is part of an extended tune family including “Ask My Father” and “Oh! Hag You Have Killed Me”.
This étude in A major is taken from the second book of Twenty Easy Melodic Progressive Studies by Italian composer Ernesto Köhler.
Today we propose an arrangement for two flutes of the traditional Hannukah song “I Have a Little Dreidel”, kindly contributed to our collection by Anne McKennon.
A version of this piece for flute and piano is also available.
This march is one of the most famous melodies of the ballet. The piece is simply called “March”, or “Marche” in French. However, instead of calling it, “The March from The Nutcracker”, most take the more direct route of saying, “The Nutcracker March”, or even “The March of the Nutcracker”.
Those vaguely familiar with the story of The Nutcracker may be surprised to learn that this is not actually a dance performed by the Nutcracker as he leads the toy soldiers to victory over the Mouse King. Instead, the march appears early in the first act, played during the lively party scene, which includes plenty of dancing, games and merriment. The cheerful rhythm of the piece helps to create a feeling of celebration among the holiday partygoers.
The first appearance of this jig is found in Francis O'Neill's celebrated collection Music of Ireland, published in Chicago in 1903. O'Neill obtained the tune form Chicago police patrolman, piper and flute player John Ennis, originally from County Kildare, Ireland.
This is étude No. 17 from Italian Romantic composer Giuseppe Gariboldi's collection of 30 Etudes faciles et progressives.
Today's piece is duet No. 6 from the first volume of Ernesto Köhler's Twenty Easy Melodic Progressive Studies.
