Program Notes
This setting of four English Renaissance dances is in the great band tradition of Holst, Jacob and Vaughan Williams. Movement I is a brief processional called The Queen's Command. The next movement is stately with a medieval sound entitled, Galliard: Earl Strafford. Movement III, Pavane: St. Thomas, Wake! is slow and dignified. The work concludes with the brisk and jaunty Shanty: Fortune, My Foe.
