SKU: SU.80101415

Set of score, organ part, and one set of string parts (quintet)additional string parts for orchestra available (Cat. No. 80101416)Overture concertante (2018) is, as the title suggests, an overture with a concerto-like character. The music begins with a slow theme in dotted rhythms in the manner of a traditional baroque overture. The faster music that follows begins first with the organ alone, employing a basse de trompette texture (the organ's trumpet stop sounding in the bass register). This is soon answered by a bright, melodic theme in the strings. The interplay of these three main ideas is developed across the rest of the piece.
