Little Suite for Band
|
||
| This piece is a suite in
3 movements. The first movement, Prelude, is in a bright
4/4 tempo with a slightly syncopated main theme |
||
|
|
||
| The
second theme is more legato, and later in the movement, the two
themes are combined. |
||
|
|
||
| The second movement, Ballade, is also in 4/4, but the modal main theme is much slower. |
|
|
|
|
||
| The middle section changes tempo slightly, and moves into the major key. | ||
|
|
||
| The final movement is a traditional Rondo. The various sections are introduced by a rhythmic pseudo fanfare based on the interval of fourths. The first subject is a 6/8 tune. | ||
|
|
||
| The second subject changes key and style, this time featuring the horn section. | ||
|
| ||
| The third subject features trombones again in a different contrasting style | ||
|
| ||
| and the finale brings all the themes together in
a faster tempo. 10' 15" |
