THE BOURNEMOUTH MUNICIPAL SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA (50 Performers)
Conducted by Sir DAN GODFREY
(First performance at these Concerts)
THIS was written for the Norwich Festival of 1893. It is in four Movements, as follows :-
FIRST MOVEMENT. A slow, dignified prelude starts with a bass tune, which is used later in the work. A hint of the chief tune of the quick Movement proper is given in the bass before we dash into this (Quick. bold, and spirited). The second of the two chief tunes can be readily distinguished : it is in the major key, is heard on the quietly pungent Oboe, with 'Cello below it, and is supported by a three-to-a-beat figure of accompaniment.
SECOND MOVEMENT. A slow Movement, lyrically suave, characteristic of British sentiment and of the composer.
THIRD MOVEMENT. Scherzo, which here may well be interpreted as ' skipping.' German has probably given us more really piquant, deft, and engaging Scherzo Movements than any other composer we have, and this has all the ingenuous gaiety of his most likeable examples.
LAST MOVEMENT. A short, slow Introduction leads in a hymn-tune-like theme. Then the very quick Movement begins, its opening tune deriving from the hymn-like melody. Delicately the upper Woodwind bring in the Second Main Tune, with its neat syncopations.
