The music
Herbert Howells has
tended to be unjustly
neglected but his
post-war output of
orchestral and chamber
works is currently
enjoying a period of
re-eveluation. This
Herbert Howells society
edition of six pieces
brings to light yet
another aspect of his
work, namely his Piano
music. Even though he was
an accomplished pianist
himself, music for Piano
did not figure highly in
his output. This volume
contains some charming
character pieces in the
form of six Sarum
Sketches, two slow dances
based on tunes from John
Playford's The Dancing
Master, an extrovert
piece based on a folk
tune, a minuet composed
as a birthday present for
John Ireland, a brief
vignette and an exquisite
miniature. Of the six
pieces in this volume,
three appear in print for
the first time.
