Clog Dance
Watch on YouTube:
This Clog Dance features in the ballet "La Fille Mal Gardée" with music by Ferdinand Hérold.
The whimsical, light-hearted piece is simple, joyous and lifts anyone's spirits. This arrangement is for flute and piano (the flute part is of intermediate standard). The digital download includes the flute/piano score, with separate flute and piano parts.
There is also an (optional) part for the pianist to add to the music by knocking on the piano! It would be a great piece for an encore, or a welcome addition to any salon concert.

A lovely, tuneful Ballet...
Frederick Ashton's La Fille Mal Gardée (The Wayward Daughter) is one of the choreographer's most joyous and colourful creations.
Inspired by his love for the Suffolk countryside, the ballet is set on a farm and tells a story of love between Lise, the daughter of Widow Simone, and Colas, a young farmer.
It contains some of Ashton's most stunning choreography.
The ballet is laced with exuberant good humour, and elements of national folk dance, from dancing chickens and a maypole dance to a Lancashire clog dance for Widow Simone.
John Lanchbery created the music for Ashton’s ballet from Ferdinand Hérold’s 1828 score. The ballet's premiere in 1960 was a resounding success and it remains a firm favourite of many Ballet companies.
