Elena’s Eleven (Celtic-Balkan Fusion Tune), Live at Celtic Junction

Elena’s Eleven (Celtic-Balkan Fusion Tune), Live at Celtic Junction Elena’s Eleven uses the compelling meter of the popular Bulgarian dance kopanitsa (short-short-LONG-short-short), with its “stretch step” in the middle of each bar. In our performance the melody is played through once slowly, then at progressively faster tempos, similar to the speed-up from strathspey (a slow reel) to reel in the classic Highland pairing of these dances, and the Bulgarian tradition of speeding up during a repeating line dance. - The Celtic-Balkan fusion tunes were composed for solo bagpipe. Some were entirely original, whereas others incorporated existing melodies. Harmonies were added later. Ensemble arrangements were then developed by having the orchestra “workshop” the harmonized melodies. Tempos, number of repeats, and which instruments play when were determined jointly with fusion choreographer Alexandra Bodnarchuk. In today’s performance different fusion tunes, or tune parts, are played variously with and without bagpipe, with and without orchestra, and by all or only some of the orchestra instruments. - Composer: James Johnson Accordion: Eric Ray (Orkestar Bez Ime) Bass Guitar: Drew Miller (Boiled in Lead) Clarinet: Katrina Mundinger (Orkestar Bez Ime) Guitar & tambura: Dave Burk (Choro Borealis) Highland pipes: Mike Breidenbach (Macalester College Pipe Band) Percussion: Tim O’Keefe (Choro Borealis) Doma Dance Theater Artistic Director & Choreographer: Alexandra Bodnarchuk Producing Artistic & Music Director: Brandon Anderson Musser Costume Design: Alexandra Bodnarchuk Costume Construction: Jenny Hawkins-Hatch Dancers: Alexandra Bodnarchuk, Rachel Holmes, Yukina Sato Live Audio Engineer: Cormac O'Se Camera Director: Steve Flynn Camera Operators: Aiden Flynn, Liam O'Shea, Ciara O'Shea Lighting, Media Wall, and Post Production: Kristo Sween Stage Managers: Adrienne O'Shea, Ciara O'Shea Doma Dance Theater: https://www.domadancetheater.org/ Orkestar Bez Ime: https://orkestarbezime.com/ Choro Borealis: https://choroborealis.com/ Macalester College Pipe Band: https://www.macalester.edu/pipe-band/ Boiled in Lead: https://boiledinlead.com/ - James Johnson is a fiscal year 2024 recipient of a Creative Individuals grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board.
