"Dance" is an early piano work by Debussy, composed in 1890. It was first called "Tarentelle styrienne". This woodwind septet transcription was commissioned and premiered by Ome Municipal Third Junior High School Wind Band in 2004. The tempo of this work is consistent through the piece, but rhythmic feeling occasionally changes from 6/8 beat to 3/4 beat, therefore players should shift accents accordingly so that the natural rhythmic and tempo pulse can be felt.
