Program Notes
Chorale and Capriccio is in two movements played as one, beginning with an ostinato G which is heard in various registers and in four different guises. The chorale is immediately stated by the brasses in a sonorous and expressive manner. After the introduction of a secondary theme and its development, the first theme is restated.
After a short bridge passage for percussion, the capriccio enters, establishing a rather satirical mood. This alternates with fanfare-like brass figures; the entire movement then draws to a triumphant conclusions.
