About this arrangement

Brass Band - Grade 2 SKU: BT.DHP-0971002-030 Composed by Jacob De Haan. Arranged by Menno Haantjes. Performance Series. Concert Piece. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 1997. De Haske Publications #DHP 0971002-030. Published by De Haske Publications (BT.DHP-0971002-030). This playful three-part suite is largely based on symmetry. This of course is largely due to the relations of the arrangement of the themes; however, on the other hand, to the larger structures in form. The first part, (Prelude et Scherzo) has a solemn opening. Followed by it a related scherzo with many changes in time, this too is composed in a symmetrical form. In the second movement, Choral Dorian, the theme of the prelude is reversed and used in chorale in Dorian tonality. The suite comes to a close with Rondo d'Avignon. An annual theatre festival in a French city on the Rhone inspired this suite. It is a lively movement, symmetrically bought to a finish with a repeat of theprelude from the first movement.
