Work Overview
This work derives most of its melodic and motivic material from
the notes G, B flat, C, D and E flat - to which the timpani are
tuned. This enables the timpani to participate in much of the
melodic material that emerges from the given notes.
The most prominent theme to emerge can best be heard on the two
solo glockenspiels - this theme itself being a variation of the
old English carol, "This is the truth sent from above". The work
is scored for 2 trumpets, horn, euphonium, trombone, tuba (in C),
timpani and 2 percussion.
