Charming and full of character, The Possum Trot by Jason K. Nitsch draws inspiration from the Texas Schottische, a traditional dance with roots in German and European folk styles. This delightful work captures the light, buoyant feel of early social dances while bringing a touch of Americana to the concert stage.
Graceful melodies, lilting rhythms, and clear, dance-like phrasing create an engaging and accessible experience for developing ensembles. Both educational and entertaining, The Possum Trot is a wonderful choice for concert or festival performance that will have audiences tapping their toes and smiling along.
