Review:
This catchy polka-style piece was written in 1927 by Czech composer Jaromir Vejvoda, while he worked as a bartender in his father-in-law's pub in Zbraslav, Czechoslovakia. It was an immediate hit and has since become a worldwide favorite. Area I event leaders commissioned Hart Morris to arrange this piece – and dedicated it to The Raleigh Ringers Director David Harris – for their Oktobellfest event, October 2022. It begins in C-major with a segue to F-major. The addition of perfectly placed stopped sounds – Sk, RT, mallets, and mart-lift – plus a few LVs make this piece sparkle! It is sure to become a 'must-have' for your group's concert repertoire!
