SKU: A0.767117

Composed by Mike Lyons. This edition: audio, pdf. 20th Century, Baroque, Concert, Traditional. Score and parts. 27 pages. Lyons Music Services #2948367. Published by Lyons Music Services (A0.767117).

An  old-fashioned dance style, the passacaglia or sometimes chaconne, was a slow and stately 3-in-a-measure dance, usually based on a repeating bass line or ground. This modern version uses the principle of a ground bass with 'divisions' - ever more divided notes - forming intricate curlicues as the music progresses.

Scored for string quintet and intended to be played by one or two to a part, the beautiful melodies over the solid bass give this piece the air of an older and more elegant time. Great to programme alongside real Baroque music, or as a feature in a concert around dance music.
