Monarcheon Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 This is a piece written for a beginners group that is meant to feature the underused/played instruments in the orchestra. Variations on the normal theme from the beginning then ending on a canon of sorts kind of like Britten's "Young Person's Guide..." Performed a while back but unfortunately didn't get a recording or anything. 😞 MP3 Play / pause JavaScript is required. 0:00 0:00 volume > next menu Variations_and_Fugue_for_the_Royal_Crown > next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken320 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 The only thing I've heard of Britten is The Young People's Guide which was featured in the film Moonrise Kingdom, a cool film. But this seems very appropriate for its stated goal. It has lots of drama with relatively straitforward harmonies and a good use of first inversion chords so that the bass players have something to do. And the persussion section. Really nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
