This is a collection of fire dancing footage from 龍洞 in autumn 2012 and 小琉球 this past summer. This compilation has been a long time in the making, so it’s a relief to me to finally be able to release it out into the ether.

Maybe about a year ago, a group of belly dancers asked me for a piece of music for their upcoming performance. I never heard back from them about their performance after they received the music so I wasn’t able to put together a video for you, but I did get a tidy little track out of it. It’s been languishing on my shelf until then, waiting for some appropriate use. That’s the reason you hear the tambourine and finger cymbals here. Musically there’s not much noteworthy going on here. You just have two distinct and unrelated phrases, bookended by a sparse introduction and conclusion in the brass.

Here’s the audio recording and score for your perusal, as usual:
