Dance a Cachucha — Sullivan arr. Sylvia Fairley for 4 flutes in C
‘Wine when it flows in abundance, enhances/ The reckless delight of the wildest of dances…’ The Cachucha, from Gilbert & Sullivan’s Gondoliers, is sung and danced with great gusto when Giannetta and Tessa are reunited with their ‘gallant gondoleiri’, Marco and Guisappe. The music is within the grasp of players of about grade 4 standard, but to play it with the necessary panache, a standard of grade 5 – 6 would be needed.
