En bateau (Debussy C.)

In 1952 I was writing some duets for one piano to play with a friend, and Lincoln Kirstein suggested that I orchestrate them for a ballet. Commissioned by Ballet Society, the suite consists of a waltz, schotische, pas de deux, two-step, hesitation-tango, and galop. One might imagine a divertissement in a setting reminiscent of the Palm Court of the Hotel Plaza in New York, the year about 1914, epoch of the first tangos: "Souvenirs" - remembered with affection, not in irony or with tongue in the cheek, but in amused tenderness. S. B.

"Gazebo Dances" was originally written as a set of four - hand pieces dedicated to certain of my pianist friend. I later arranged the suite for orchestra and for concert band, and it is from the latter version that the title is drawn.
The title "Gazebo Dances" was suggested by the pavilions often seen on village greens in towns throught the countryside, where public band concerts are given on summer evenings.
