SKU: CN.09150

Composed by Gary Ziek. Arranged by David Farnon. Score and parts. Duration 19:30. Published by C. Alan Publications (CN.09150).

This suite begins with a stately Intrada, written in a festive, march-like style. The cantilena is a lyrical work, tinged with a sense of melancholy. The Capriccio is light-hearted in nature and is played at a fast tempo throughout. Prelude & Tarantella begins with a plaintive chant-like melody, which transforms into a furious "dance of the spider." The Siciliano is in a flowing, lyrical style. The finale utilizes a five-part rondo form. It is virtuosic in nature and is brimming with high energy and good spirits.

These works are generally written for small ensembles, and consist of a number (three to ten) of relatively short movements."
