Program Notes
Without being an overly difficult work, Estampie offers a vital and attractive artistic package revealing the keen imagination of the composer. The estampie is a medieval dance pattern in which a soloist alternated with the group singing and dancing in a kind of "round." Nelhybel emplyed this idea by alternating expressive woodwind passages with the marcato antiphonal sound of the broass choir. His distinctive use of percussion is again shown in this work.
