My Favorite Melodies Standard

My Favorite Melodies Standard brings together 22 musical selections arranged for the five International Standard ballroom dances. The programme ranges from the reflective character of Gymnopedie and Ave Maria in Slow Waltz to the stronger rhythmic accents of Libertango and Granada in Tango.

The two Viennese Waltz selections provide a brief change of pace before the album moves into five Slow Foxtrots, including The Warsaw Concerto, Capri Fishers, and My Reverie. Three Quicksteps complete the collection, with The Windows of Paris, Honolulu How Do You Do, and Vickie and Mr. Valves.

Each track is identified by its dance style, tempo, and running time, making the album a useful reference for ballroom dancers and teachers selecting music for practice or choreography.
