Becky Ross (fiddle), Liz Donaldson (piano) and Colleen Reed (flute) comprise the trio Elegant Echoes, joined (on this recording) by Bruce Edwards (bassoon). They play regularly for English Country and Regency dances and enjoy weaving together sweet harmonies with exciting rhythmic punctuation.
Their second recording represents a selection of favorite English Country Dance tunes offering a variety of meters – jigs, reels, waltzes, 3/2 time – and modes, from elegant and smooth to bouncy and lively. The selection of dances is suitable for a dance program representing a variety of styles and dance formations. While designed as a dance recording, it's also wonderful for general listening.
