Question
Hi There,
I was wondering if you would please be able to help identify this music that my children are using for a ballet dance, I'm hoping to get a better copy once I know who it possibly is.
The music has been handed around through the dance school students and the identity lost in the process.

Thank You

Answer
Hi Jason...

What you are listening and dancing too is the "Clog Dance" from the ballet,"La fille mal gardee". A ballet score (actually based on a painting) by Ferdinand Herold arranged by John Lanchberry. It will be very easy to find. There are many recordings.
cheers
