Linden Lea - Concert Band
Item number 8897329CC, $45.95

Linden Lea is a straightforward adaptation of the famous song by Ralph Vaughan Williams. The song is especially familiar in Britain, where the melody is known in virtually every household. Varied instrumental color and slight tempo changes are utilized to heighten the emotional appeal of this attractive melody.

Estimated Performance Time: 2:45

Technical Notes: The Suspended Cymbal & Bells part is labeled "Suspended Cymbal, Bells & Chimes".

Performance Suggestions: In the opening, adhere strictly to the tempo indication - Andante con moto (quarter note equals 96); do not be lulled into taking too slow a tempo. The notes must be connected, as though they were being sung.

Phrasing is indicated by the many breath marks throughout, and a slight pause should be observed between phrases, these being the only places where the players may take breaths.

Beginning with the brass entrance in measure 37, the tempo increases to approximately a quarter note equaling 104. In this section, alter the character slightly by making the notes a little less connected. The opening style returns in measure 46, and here make certain that the eighth notes in the brass and low woodwinds are played tenuto.

The rallentando in measure 52 lasts for two measures. In the last four measures, do not slow the tempo any further, and bring out the instruments which have moving lines.

Composer(s): This piece was composed by Ralph Vaughan Williams.

Arranger(s): This piece was arranged by John W. Stout.

Publisher: This piece was published by Boosey & Hawkes.

Sketches On A Tudor Psalm
Sketches On A Tudor Psalm - Concert Band
Item number 8897255CC, $125.00

This piece is dedicated to the Sam Houston State University Symphonic Band in Huntsville, Texas with Ralph L. Mills, conductor.

"Sketches On A Tudor Psalm," composed in 1971, is based on the sixteenth century setting of the Second Psalm by Thomas Tallis. The original version was in the Phrygian mode with the melody in the tenor voice. A modern adaptation is still used today in Anglican services. Its popularity is evidenced by its employment by Ralph Vaughan Williams for the basis for his Fantasia for String Orchestra in 1910.

The introduction sets the harmonic character by emphasizing the juxtaposition of major and minor triads. The theme is first presented by solo alto saxophone, continued in horns, and followed by a fully harmonized version from the brass. The variations begin to unfold in an Allegro section with a melody in the clarinets which was constructed from the retrograde of the theme. Subsequently, fragments of the theme are selected for rhythmic and melodic transformation. Finally, the opening harmonic sequence returns in highly punctuated rhythms to herald the recapitulation of the theme beginning in the low woodwinds and culminationg in a fully scored setting of the climactic measures. A coda continues the development as the music builds to a triumphal close on a major chord.
