Le premier mouvement, Aeolian Chant, est basé sur un thème d'un ami à moi (qui n'est pas musicien !) et est développé avec quelques autres idées dans un style semi-improvisé, et ne met en avant que les cordes. J'ai combiné une mélodie italienne du XIVe siècle avec une ancienne danse campagnarde anglaise pour le deuxième mouvement, Double Dance, qui introduit les instruments à vent. Le troisième mouvement, Ballad, est ici révisé par rapport à sa version originale et inclut maintenant le thème à la clarinette avec un accompagnement obligé de guitare. Le dernier mouvement, Toccata, est rapide, mais pas aussi difficile qu'il n'en a l'air, ce qui plaira à la plupart des interprètes !

The first movement, Aeolian Chant, is based on a theme by a friend of mine, (not a musician!) and is developed with some other ideas in a semi-improvisatory style and features only strings. I combined a 14th Century Italian melody with an old English country dance for the second movement, Double Dance, which introduces the wind instruments. The third movement, Ballad, is here revised from its original version and now includes the theme on clarinet with guitar obbligato. The last movement, Toccata, is fast, but not as difficult as it sounds, which will appeal to most players!

The first modal episode begins with a chant-like melody in G Aeolian mode (natural minor) that is reminiscent of early medieval music. The full brass section answers with simple block chords that accentuate the modal tonality. The Allegro that follows is set in B-flat Mixolydian mode (major scale with a flatted seventh). A dance-like melody dominates this episode and the percussion section is featured in a simple question-and-answer exchange.
