Wars Of The Roses By Stephen Chin

The Wars of the Roses was a brutal and protracted conflict that raged between two rival branches of English Royalty, the House of Lancaster and the House of York, from 1455 to 1487. Amidst the chaos and bloodshed, composer Walter Frye was creating exquisite church and secular music that captured the spirit of the times. This Fantasia is a musical tribute to Frye's song "Alas, Alas, Alas is my Chief Song," which is believed to be a poignant reflection on the despair and tragedy of war. The piece features a number of highly spirited sections that vividly depict the storms of battle, with soaring melodies and thunderous percussion. The blend of antiquity and contemporary style in this composition is sure to captivate both your orchestra and audience, transporting them back to a bygone era of chivalry, honour, and conflict.
