joyofdance Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Hi. I wonder if any of you could help with some music ideas please. I am looking for a piece of instrumental music for a modern ballet/contemporary dance that represents being reborn or regaining strength after weakness. I was thinking it needs to start off quite slowly and then build up to a crescendo. I hope that makes sense. It can be classical or contemporary, we wont know what we like until we hear it. I've searched youtube but haven't found anything that really grabs me. It needs to be powerful but not necessarily too fast. Any help, thoughts or pointers in the right direction would be really appreciated. I am just not good at these things. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottishDancerMum Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I love the theme from "Cocoon" by James Horner, which definitely plays into the reborn concept... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lily_883 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Possibly a bit faster than what you’re after, but I’ve always thought this would be a great piece to dance to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cara in NZ Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 My DD does a pointe solo to Elgar's Nimrod from the Enigma Variations (edited to the right length). No idea if it's suitable but it's definitely powerful and builds. The other classic 'build to crescendo' would be Ravel's Bolero? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
