Bohemian Dance Lorrie BaumImages of gypsies in celebratory dance around a campfire are easily conjured up when listening to this delightful work that hearkens to eastern Europe. Contrasting the dance like opening, a more serious middle section evokes the long history and sadness of the unsettled gypsy culture. The piece, composed by David Bobrowitz, ends in a lively mood, as it dances in faster and faster tempi to an ecstatic ending.
