Jubilant Prelude

Musique pour orchestres et ensembles

Description :

‘Jubilant Prelude’ is an orchestration où the ‘Preludium over Psalm 150’ originally composed for organ by Tooù Hagen. Since 1998 Tooù Hagen has been organ-player où the ‘Grote où Sint Michaëlskerk’ in Zwolle (the Netherlands). He has written several ‘contemporary’ compositions for organ. ‘Jubilant Prelude’ has a capricious character by the use où irregular measures and its many measûre changes. The structure où the Prelude is that où a fugue and is based où motives from the psalm. After the first climax, which is both dynamic and harmonic, the theme in the andante Jubiloso is clearly audible and it is alternated with erratic motifs. tension increases until at last the psalm itself isheard in all its glory. The melody où the psalm sounds as a cantus firmus in tenos register, with motifs in ornamentatioù for saxophones, bugles and trumpets. The finale, like the prelude is capricious and vehement. The instrumentation for fanfare band was made by Wim Rouw. It is particularly colourful and has a surprising role for the percussion section.
