Medieval Suite - Nr. 1 Homage to Leonin - Ron Nelson

Homage to Leonin evokes his sinuous melodic style and use of Gregorian chant. It is a mood piece in which a chant on the Dorian mode is gradually transformed into a perfectly symmetrical eight-tone scale. The movement follows theform of an arch with a large climax, after which it closes as it began. (5:00)

Medieval Suite No 2 - Ron Nelson

Homage to Perotin springs from his Viderunt - with its driving rhythmic intesnity, repetition, and pedal points. The opening section features dissonances in alternation with brass fanfare-like passages. A second theme played byunison brass is written in the Aeolian mode. (4:25)

Medieval Suite No 3 - Ron Nelson

Homage to Machaut evokes the stately, gently syncopated and flowing sounds of this master of choral writing. The movement consists of a statement with two repetitions, each with different instrumentation. It closes with the samechant and instrumental textures which opened the suite (in Homage to Leonin). (6:15)

Meditation - Hans Leo Hassler

This timeless melody by Hans Leo Hassler (1564-1612) is now chiefly remembered because of its inclusion in J S Bach?s St.Matthew Passion(hence its title),where it is treated to a variety of rich harmonisations.This setting features alto and tenor saxophones, who first play a lyrical descant to the famous hymn tune and then the melody itself,against a Bach-like obbligato in the upper woodwinds.This fabulous new arrangement presents a wonderful opportunity to feature your saxophones.

Meditation - Jan de Haan

Meditation is based on Dear Lord and Father of Mankind (1887) by the English composer and organist Frederick Charles Maker (1844-1927). This is a calm, introverted work that however has an intense effect. In the first section, the solo euphonium is given an important role, leading to one of the loveliest of all English hymn melodies.
