Armed with a prodigious gift for forging musical identities, “Lord Carter Nicholas Pann” presents an offering inspired by the Elizabethan Era and an appreciation for the works of Percy Grainger. Pann’s suite tells a story of palace intrigue, outlined by the movement titles:1. Overture - Young Tom Abel, Heir to Cecil Abel’s Fortune2. Sarabande - Father Daniel Bennett from the Abbey at Lockwood Cross3. Pastorale - Joseph Dimplesweet, His Lordship’s Oldest Farmhand4. Gallop - Lord William H. Pettybone, Duke of Bremingham.
At Her Ladyship’s Request (2016) was an idea born out of admiration for the wind works of Percy Grainger – most notably his Lincolnshire Posey.The names and places here are all fictitious. Four countrymen have come forward at Her Ladyship’s request as we commoners (and for as long as I can remember) have been led to believe Her Highness has grown complacent in her aged betrothal to His Lordship.I. It has long been established in this hill country that young, svelte Tom Abel has caught her fancy eye. He knocks about with the swagger of a visiting dignitary, confident and cocksure. And then there is his father’s fortune. Cecil Abel may be the richest man in the land save for His Lordship. Tom, his only son, will run his face straight into that pile the moment his old man kicks.II. It is rare to spy Father Daniel Bennett, High Priest from the Abbey at Lockwood Cross, loitering in our very own town square…but not as of late.III. Is Her Ladyship so desperate as to call upon Old Man Dimplesweet? Were you to confirm this, I would have straightened my back and spit the ground before you. Then I saw what could not possibly be misconstrued. And where is His Lordship anyway?IV. Pettybone! Conniving… insidious. I don’t believe there has been a greater rivalry among men for generations. The Duke’s ego alone could run our nation. The grudges he grows are notorious. His mount is legendary. The day has come to collect his toll.
