John Jenkins- Suite in G minor (Concertino)
John Jenkins was an English composer of the Renaissance Era. He was a remarkably long-lived composer for the time and also an extraordinarily prolific composer. He wrote a vast volume of music, mainly for viols, but also for violins with viols and keyboard. He was employed as music master with two Royalist families during the English Civil War: the Derehams of West Dereham and the L'Estrange family of Hunstanton in Norfolk.
Early music expert Patrice Connelly has arranged this Suite in G minor for string orchestra. It has been compiled from several pieces of the same key and was not conceived as a suite by Jenkins. All dynamics, bowing and slurs are editorial. The pieces were originally written for four viols: a consort of two trables, a tenor and a bass viol. The double bass part has been composed for this edition and is based on the vass viol part.
The three movements include a Pavan, an Almain and a Sarraband
It is suitable for a string orchestra at Grade 3.5 to 4.
