Polka

Polka music is a genre of dance music that originated in central Europe in the mid-19th century. It is characterized by a fast tempo, a strong beat, and a simple, repetitive melody. The origins of the music can be traced back to rural Bohemia, now part of the Czech Republic, where it was played by local bands at weddings and other celebrations. As it gained popularity, it spread throughout Europe, particularly in countries such as Poland, Germany, and Austria. Polka music is often played on accordion, trumpet, and clarinet. The dance style is also called polka, which is a lively, upbeat dance that is usually performed with partners. The dance involves a step-hop-step pattern and is typically performed to the fast-paced music. Polka music and dance have a strong cultural significance in countries such as Poland, the Czech Republic, and Germany. It continues to be enjoyed at cultural festivals, weddings, and other celebrations. Polka music also influenced other genres of music such as Tex-Mex, Conjunto and Norteno.

I don't know why I usually name my comedy pieces "something-something sloth". Or actually I do know. Sloths are freakin' awesome. Apparently their defense mechanism is that they are so pathetic and gross that most predators won't even eat them.

Originally written for a children's theater, and it will make you want to kill yourself. Or laugh. One of the two.

Boisterous and nearly obnoxious, this piece will lodge itself in your brain and make you think you?re trapped in an arcade. The polka rhythm is quick and the melody is spastic. Right into the second minute the rhythm drops out and introduces a crazed, comedic melody that continues throughout until...

Super smashing trumpets, and a crazy clarinet! Also guitars and such. Not your oom-pah kind of polka. This is all-out dance.

Very happy. I consider this as humorous. Some people might find that offensive.

High-energy polka with screaming trumpets and a clarinet "voice". Modulation at the end. Unusual turnarounds.
