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.
Parts
Mozart composed over 30 violin sonatas during his lifetime. Among these works, only one sonata stands out for being entirely in a minor key. This particular sonata is known for its dark, brooding and energetic nature. It also features spiccato and martele articulations, which were crucial to the Classical style of music. This piece is appropriate for Grade 4 string orchestras.
Australia's National Anthem is a source of pride for Australians. We offer the first verse thoughtfully, with a piano part for accompaniment. A major key suits most voices. Great for school assemblies. Suitable for Grade 2 String Orchestra.
