about

From the composer, David Martynuik:

Located east of Lutonia, the country of Slablóblia is of no strategic importance geographically and lacks any type of natural resources that would be considered of value. In addition, the one access road has a slight inclination and given the general lack of motivation of native Slablóblianites is a disincentive for migration. All of these factors have combined to cause this little known country to remain fairly isolated. However, there is a rich (if not always logical) culture of stories, songs, and dances that has been passed down through many generations. This suite encapsulates many of the features of Slablóblian folk “art.”

Blángdy blúblu is the "Dance of the Ecstatic Jolly Bean." Not to be confused with that symbol of western opulence, the Jelly bean, Jolly beans are entirely organic deriving their texture and flavor from evaporated cane sugar, organic tapioca syrup and grape juice concentrate. In addition, the use of organic coloring from black carrot juice and turmeric make them practically health food thus providing the performers of this particular dance a high level of energy if not dignity.

Slablóblian Folk Suite was completed in September of 2016 and premiered by Eastern Standard at the Southwest Horn Conference in Phoenix, AZ, on January 27, 2017.
