Program Notes
Sir Malcolm Arnold wrote the Trevelyan Suite to mark the opening of Trevelyan College (known colloquially as “Trevs”) at Durham University, in England. Arnold’s daughter was among the first intake of new students at the college. Scored in three movements, the suite is written for a small ensemble of 11 wind players, and is more academic and introspective than many of Arnold’s better-known works. The first movement is built around a musical palindrome – the first forty-two measures are then played (after a one-measure “pivot point”) in reverse order as the final forty-two measures. The premiere performance was given by the University of Durham Ensemble, with Arnold himself conducting, on 12 March 1968, at the grand opening of the institution.
