Slavonic Gallop · Galop Slave
The "Slavonic Gallop" (Slavia Galopp) by Zdenek Lukás is a wild and energetic piece of music Its vitality is by accurate articulation and a precise differentation of dynamics. Zdenek Lukaš (1928-2007) has already composed over 300 opuses including symphonies, stage music and vocal pieces. He has arrived at a personally-expressive style stemming from the Czech musical thinking and especially folk music but also enriched with carefully selected elements of 20th century music. In the field of wind music, Lukaš has been praised particularly for his monumental „Sinfonia brevis" which had been selected as compulsory composition at the World Festival of Wind Bands (WMC = World Music Contest) at Kerkrade in the Netherlands in 1997.
