In this fairly easy suite, Jan Van Der Roost has used four authentic Finnish folk tunes. The work starts with some noble, almost meditative melodies. Gradually the tempi become faster, resulting in a brilliant and cheerful folk dance. The melody regularly goes from one band section to another, so that the timbre remains varied, and there is not any possibility of monotony. All in all, this is an attractive suite that can be played by a large number of bands.

Sketches On A Tudor Psalm
Sketches On A Tudor Psalm - Concert Band
Item number 8897255CC
Regular Price: $137.95, Our Price: $82.77

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.
