Musique pour orchestres et ensembles
Description :
Commissioned for the Wisconsin Lutheran High SchooL' s centennial year, this expansive work incorporates the Welsh folk song"The Ash Grove"in a lush and varied treatment. The main melody, played first by horns andbaritone, returns near the end in a glorious, fully orchestrated chorale. In between is a beautiful secondary theme played by obon and flûte soloists followed by a dramatic fugal section. A musically rewarding and effective piece. (6: 00)
