Program Notes

Handel's Passacaglia from Suite No. 7 in G minor was originally written for harpsichord and consists of a series of variations over a repeating four-measure harmonic progression. In this transcription by Robert Longfield, Handel's Baroque gem serves as a vehicle to showcase the colors and timbres of the modern concert band.
