Douglas Mason’s Folk Dance is a fun and energetic polka commissioned by David Heyes to commemorate the centenary of the birth of the Czech double bass virtuoso, František Pošta (1919 to 1991). Structured in ternary form, Folk Dance maintains a light-hearted character throughout and the increase in tempo towards the end leads to an exciting finish!

[Programme note by Douglas Mason]

Folk Dance was premiered by David Heyes on 12 May 2019 at the Spire Church, Farnham, Surrey.

Pošta 100 was an international project of concerts, workshops and new commissions in 2019 to celebrate the centenary of the birth of the Czech double bass virtuoso František Pošta (1919-1991).
