In its original
form the Suite was
written in answer to a
commission from the
Farnham Festival and was
first performed on 11 May
1971. I was, however, not
entirely satisfied with
it and did not pass it
for publication until
1982, when I revised it
in considerable detail.
In its revised form it
was first performed on 18
June, 1983, at Monash
University, Melbourne.
The music requires little
explanation. The titles
of each of the five
movements indicate their
character: 'Fanfare';
'Dance', which has
Elizabethan overtones;
'Popular Song', which
explores jazz rhythms and
harmonies; 'Ceremony' - a
solemn chorale; and
'Finale', a light-hearted
Rondo with fugal touches.
The overall intention is
simply to entertain both
the players and their
audiences.
