Composed by Dame Ethel Mary Smyth. Arranged by John Ivor Holland. 19th Century,20th Century,Classical,Religious,Sacred. 58 pages. John Ivor Holland #992050. Published by John Ivor Holland (A0.1409423).Ethel Smyth (1858-1944) faced many challenges as a woman in the male dominated world of composers in her lifetime. At times her music was sidelined as too masculine and not appropriate for a "lady composer" (as critics of the time dismissed her), while her lighter compositions were often dismissed as not being up to the standards of her male counterparts. She composed very few pieces for organ but this one, "O Traurigkeit, O Herzeleid" comes from a collection of five, drawing upon tunes previously used by composers from Bach to Brahms - this Prelude & Fugue well and truly establishes Smyth's accomplishment at the organ and transfers very well to concert band. The only percussion called for in this arrangement is Timpani.
