About This Work

"The Dance of the Mirlitons" is one of the eight original pieces in Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky's 1892 "Nutcracker Suite." The famous melody is also referred to as "The Dance of the Reed Flutes" or "Marzipan." Today the tune appears in commercials and films as well as thousands of annual productions of "The Nutcracker" ballet.

"The Dance of the Mirlitons" is one of the most recognizable pieces of music from the ballet and is usually danced by a small group of 4 to 8 women, or by a trio of two women and one man. Costumes traditionally display either reed-flutes or fruit. Mirliton refers to a pear-shaped vegetable or its vine.

Jim Taylor's arrangement for Flute Trio & Concert Band retains all the charm of Tchaikovsky's original score and the added extended cadenza will offer a showcase for your soloists. Although often performed at Christmas this is ideal for concerts throughout the year and a chance to show off your Flute section with this instantly recognizable melody.
