Fantasia on Greensleeves

Orchestration2 Flutes, 2 Oboes, 2 Clarinets in A or Bb, 2 Bassoons2 Horns in F, Trumpet in Bb, HarpStrings (Violin 1, Violin 2, Viola, Cello, Double Bass)George Butterworth was born in London on July 12th, 1885 to a well-to-do family. Eton School was followed by university at Trinity College, Oxford where he met Vaughan Williams and Cecil Sharp. He taught for a while at Radley, studied for a short time at the Royal College of Music, then concentrated more or less full time on collecting folk songs, sometimes with Vaughan Williams. When the First World War started in 1914, he joined the Durham Light Infantry as a Lieutenant. In the trenches, he was mentioned in dispatches for outstanding courage and won the Military Cross. He led a successful raid on August 15th 1916 in the Battle of the Somme, but during the raid Butterworth was killed by a sniper's bullet. Much of his music is influenced by folk-song. The idyll "Banks of Green Willow" is one of his best works and perfectly captures the nature of the English countryside. It is almost as if the music occurred naturally and Butterworth just discovered it!Duration: 5 minutesA PACK comprises an A4 sized full score plus a complete set of parts including strings 4/4/3/4/2.

Orchestration 2 Flutes (2nd doubling piccolo), 2 Oboes, 2 Clarinets in Bb, 2 Bassoons, Double Bassoon*4 Horns in F, 2 Trumpets in Bb, 2 Cornets in Bb*, 3 Trombones, Tuba, Timpani, Percussion (Triangle, Sleigh bells, Side drum, Bass drum, Cymbals, Tambourine)Organ*Strings (Violin 1, Violin 2, Viola, Cello, Bass)First performed in 1901, this concert overture gives a lively and colourful musical portrait of Edwardian London. "Cockaigne" was a term used by moralists at that time as a metaphor for gluttony and drunkenness, and Britons adopted the name humorously for London. Elgar did supply a detailed programme for the work which begins with a quiet but bustling theme which leads into an unbroken sequence of snapshots: cockneys, the church bells, the romantic couples, a slightly ragged brass band and a contrastingly grand military band.This edition is not an arrangement but aims to correct many of the errors and inconsistencies present in the original Boosey and Hawkes edition (which, it is said, Elgar never proof-read).*The cornets may be omitted as any essential passages are generally cued in the trumpet parts. The trumpet parts were originally scored in F but are here presented in Bb. The organ and double bassoon add weight but are not essential.Duration: 14 minutesA PACK comprises an A4 sized full score plus a complete set of parts including strings 4/4/3/4/2.

Giant Fugue

String Orchestra Score & Parts

This five-movement work was commissioned by the BBC for performance by its orchestra in Cardiff. The wording of the commission specified that the work should be based on Welsh folk-music. However, rather than employing folk tunes as such, the composer decided to develop short rhythmic or melodic elements present in some of those. In fact, only two traditional melodies appear in the work. A short quotation from one is used as a counterpoint in the second movement and the melody in the fourth movement consists of an embellished variant of "Lisa Lan".

Orchestration:Piccolo, 2 Flutes, 2 Oboes, Cor Anglais, 2 Clarinets in Bb, Bass Clarinet, 2 Bassoons, Contra Bassoon4 Horns in F, 3 Trumpets in Bb, 3 Trombones, Tuba, Timpani, Percussion (Side drum, Cymbals, Bass drums)Strings (Violin 1, Violin 2, Viola, Cello, Bass)Elgar's Severn Suite was originally written for brass band, and given its first performance in 1930. The arrangement for full symphony orchestra was made shortly afterwards, and Elgar himself conducted its first performance at a recording session for His Master's Voice in 1932. Whereas the brass-band version quickly became a popular classic, the orchestral version languished in relative obscurity. The Elgar recording did not sell well and was quickly deleted from the catalogues, and the orchestral full score was never published in Elgar's lifetime.This was somewhat unjust, given that the music of the Severn Suite is of high quality, as the popularity of the brass-band version bears out. Elgar had effectively given up composition following his wife's death in 1920, and of the few works subsequently completed by him, the Severn Suite is the only one to show glimpses of his former mastery of large-scale symphonic composition.The five linked movements are all based to some extent on the two opening themes. The pageantry of the Introduction is followed by an exciting Toccata. The courtly aspects of mediaeval life are displayed in the Minuet, and this is preceded by the tragic Fugue (this movement, originally written for piano in 1923, is considered by many to be a deeply felt lament for Elgar's departed wife). Finally the Coda returns to the music of the opening.The Acuta Music orchestral score, issued in 1991, was the first appearance in print of the full-orchestra version. The Acuta score has been re-set and corrected for this Goodmusic edition.Duration 19 minutesA PACK comprises an A4 sized full score plus a complete set of parts including strings 4/4/3/4/2.

Severn Suite

OrchestrationStrings (Violin 1, Violin 2, Viola, Cello, Double Bass)HarpThe Adagietto from Gustav Mahler's Fifth Symphony is arguably Mahler's most famous single piece of music, and is the most frequently performed extract from Mahler's works. It is best known for its use in the 1971 Luchino Visconti film Death in Venice. However it was frequently performed on its own before then, chiefly because in the early 20th century music programmers did not believe whole Mahler symphonies would be acceptable to audiences. Indeed, the British premiere of the entire Fifth Symphony came thirty-six years after the Adagietto itself had been introduced, by Henry Wood at a Promenade Concert in 1909.This edition is not arranged or simplified in any way.Duration 9 minutesA PACK comprises one full score, harp and strings 4/4/3/4/2

This arrangement has been simplified to a certain degree to make what is otherwise a difficult piece, more accessible.Duration: 6A minutesA PACK comprises an A4 sized full score plus a complete set of parts including strings 4/4/3/4/2.

So often when the National Anthem is required at the start or end of a concert, the conductor just says "The National Anthem in G", cues the timpanist and off we go with the orchestra 'busking it' with varying degrees of success! (On one occasion, just to see if we were awake [and some were not] the conductor called out "National Anthem - in Ab"; what followed was not the orchestraA's finest performance!!)Here then, is the solution if you want to play the National Anthem without leaving it to chance. This version will work with strings only if that is all you have.Duration: less than 1 minuteA PACK comprises an A4 sized full score plus a complete set of parts including strings 4/4/3/4/2.

It is often played on the Tambourine but the French Tambourin refers to the Tambourin Provencale which is a drum, hung on the left hand side of the player, as in a marching side drum, and played with a curved stick, held in the right hand (hence the very simple four quaver rhythm), while, originally, the left hand played a sort of penny whistle (i.e. the flute in the Farandole). This is one of the pieces that Bizet originally wrote as incidental music to Alphonse Daudet's play "L'Arlesienne" (The woman of Arles). Two suites each of four movements were formed from the original 27 episodes composed for the play. The "Farandole" is the last movement of the second suite. An exciting romp to the finish for everyone!Duration: 4 minutesA PACK comprises an A4 sized full score plus a complete set of parts including strings 4/4/3/4/2.
