This piece is a great demonstration of
motive and motivic development. The
3 note motive within the horn is
passed throughout the piece and
transformed, holding a great lesson to
be taught to ensembles working on
this piece. I believe this work is
suitable for advanced high school
students. As well, the contrast that
both movement I and II portray utilizes
both a lyrical and rhythmic aspect of
musicianship, allowing all members of
the band to play an important part.
English Folk Song Suite is a piece
that can be used early on within high
school band programs and brought
back to expand upon the content
learned previously. For example, the
first time the piece is taught, the
lessons could focus on how to properly
play each movements style. For the
second time the students play the
piece, the teacher could then have the
class focus on how composers use
other music to inspire their pieces. This
could lead into a historical analysis and
lessons containing the folk tunes this
piece is based off of.
Holsts suites both show great
concepts within thin orchestration,
creating very soloistic lines within all
instrument parts. His works move from
fast paced marches to legato lyrical
movements, making these pieces
suitable for creating a well-rounded
concert. As well, the contrast within
articulation in Holsts pieces give great
opportunity for studying articulation as
a unit.

A-B- C-Coda:
The first section of this
piece opens with timpani
and then ominous wind
instruments play in the low
register, slow and legato.
Brass instruments and
cymbals enter later to add
counter melodies and
affects. The melody
expands and crescendos as
more instruments enter and
climax.
The B section begins with
upper woodwinds playing a
spritely melody,
accompanied by a
syncopated staccato
rhythm. The brass play a
counter melody to this
section in accompany with
mallot percussion. Nearing
the end of this section, the
melody thins out down to a
solo in the flute supported
by chimes and clarinets.
The 3rd section takes on a
slower new idea, building in
instrumentation from the
upper woodwinds down to
the low brass, finally
moving into the coda, in
which ideas from the B
section return and close the
piece.

Renaissance dances that were
popular during the 1500s. Each
dance uses a different style
and tempo, and Ron Nelson
particularly decided to have
the Basse Dance, Pavane, and
Allemande emulate the music
of Claude Gervaise, utilizing his
specific style as well as the
style of other compositions
from this period in time.
