While
Gordon Jacobs composed a
vast amount of music -
more than four hundred
pieces -- he was
particularly celebrated
for his work for Viola
and for woodwinds, as
well as for his books on
music pedagogy. Jacob had
an early success with his
Viola Concerto of 1926
which was premiered at a
Promenade concert and
which was the beginning
of a series of strong
contributions to Viola
repertoire. This Sonatina
for Viola and Piano
demonstrates his
sensitive writing for the
instrument. It works very
well when performed on
clarinet as well.While
many composers of the
20th century rejected
serialism, atonality and
other avant garde effects
in favour of Romanticism,
Jacob was much morean
adherent to the musical
models of the classic and
baroque eras, while still
encompassing modern
harmonies. His work Music
for a Festival, for
symphonic wind band and
brass ensemble, was used
for the post-war Festival
of Britain and he
arranged the British
national anthem for the
coronation of Queen
Elizabeth II.
