Brass Band - Grade 4 SKU: BT.DHP-0930481-030
Composed by Jacob De Haan. Inspiration Series. Hymns & Chorals. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 1993. De Haske Publications #DHP 0930481-030. Published by De Haske Publications (BT.DHP-0930481-030). A composition of much contrast based on a well-known psalm melody. As its title announces, it starts with a majestic introduction in which parts of the psalm melody can be heard. Next we hear the complete psalm melody in the trombones, interrupted by passages full of dance in the discant. This is continued in a lively Allegro Molto, in which the psalm melody emerges in the trumpets and cornets, again interrupted by rhythmically pulsing quaver movements. The work ends with a flashing passage in a presto tempo. Majestic Prelude typically is a composition for the start of a concert.
