Whilst John Rutter is extremely well known for his religious choral music, he has also written a few orchestral pieces that are every bit the equal of his better known works. This Suite is indeed one of these. Originally written in 1973, and following the tradition of earlier English composers like Vaughn Williams and Percy Grainger, this suite explores various English folk tunes. The opening movement has a kind of hornpipe feeling to it that uses the jaunty tune 'A rovin' yet this is balanced with the more reflective counter melody 'I sowed the seed of love.' Of course the 'racy' tune wins the day! The second movement - 'I Have A Bonnet Trimmed In Blue' is a perfect evocation of an elegant young lady who is keen to display her new bonnet to the local swains! Yet perhaps she is a little shy and is apprehensive about possible comments. From the last section I believe she found her hearts desireâ?¦ The slow movement is based on the folksong 'O Waly Waly', a tune that will forever be associated with the late Kathleen Ferrier. This version gives the tune a sense of regret and sometimes intensity that matches the words:- O love is handsome and love is fine, And love is charming when it is true; As it grows older it groweth colder And fades away like the morning dew. The mood is lifted for the last movement, with an almost Handelian rendition of 'Dashing Away With The Smoothing Iron'. However, this tune doesn't have everything it's own way, for the 'Bailiff's Daughter' makes an appearance as well for a triumphant ending:- O stay, O stay thou goodly youth! She's alive, she is not dead; Here she standeth by thy side, And is ready to be thy bride... (and hopefully they both do the ironing!).

Ralph Vaughan Williams' (1872-1958) English Folk Songs Suite, IRV 16, consists of three movements, the first two of which are based on the folk songs Seventeen Come Sunday and My Bonny Boy; the third adapts four songs from the Somerset region collected by Cecil Sharp. The English Folk Songs Suite quotes the Christmas carol Dives and Lazarus, which Vaughan Williams later published five variations of for harp and string orchestra. Gordon Jacob, a student of Vaughan Williams, arranged this version for orchestra. An earlier version of the English Folk Songs Suite, written for military band, premiered at Kneller Hall in Twickenham, England in July 1923. Instrumentation: 2(2nd dPicc).1.2.1: 2.2.2.0: Timp:Perc(2-3): Str(9.8.7.6.5 in set). Reprint edition.

Songs from Across the Water was commissioned by Pennsylvania Symphonic Winds - Phil Evans, Founder and Director. Phil Evans hails from the UK and served for 25 years in the Band of HM Royal Marines. Now resident in the USA he founded Pennsylvania Symphonic Winds in 2008, giving them the tag line ‘An American Band with a British Accent’, as he wanted to combine the best of both countries’ band traditions. With this in mind, composer Philip Sparke decided to create a suite of British folk songs, scored with an American influence to fulfil the philosophy of the band’s tag line. The three movements, which are played without a break, are based on the following folk songs,which come from all corners of the British Isles: The Three Ravens & The Cruiskeen Lawn, The Lark in the Clear Air and The Piper o’ Dundee & Men of Harlech. Songs from Across the Water werd geschreven in opdracht van de Pennsylvania Symphonic Winds, waarvan Phil Evans de oprichter en tevens de dirigent is. Phil Evans is geboren en getogen in het Verenigd Koninkrijk, hij was 25 jaar lang lid van de Band of HM Royal Marines. Tegenwoordig woont hij in de VS, waar hij in 2008 de Pennsylvania Symphonic Winds oprichtte, met als motto ‘An American band with a British Accent’ (Een Amerikaans blaasorkest met een Brits accent), aangezien hij de blaasmuziektradities uit beide landen wilde combineren. Met dit gegeven in zijn achterhoofd creëerde componist Philip Sparke een suite van Britse folksongs, georkestreerd met een Amerikaanse invloedom de filosofie achter het eerdergenoemde motto eer aan te doen. De drie delen, die zonder onderbreking worden gespeeld, zijn gebaseerd op de volgende folksongs, die afkomstig zijn uit alle hoeken van de Britse Eilanden: The Three Ravens & The Cruiskeen Lawn, The Lark in the Clear Air en The Piper o’ Dundee & Men of Harlech. Songs from Across the Water wurde von den Pennsylvania Symphonic Winds in Auftrag gegeben, deren Gründer und Leiter Phil Evans ist. Phil Evans stammt aus dem Vereinigten Königreich und spielte 25 Jahre lang im Blasorchester der HM Royal Marines. Inzwischen lebt er in den USA und gründete 2008 die Pennsylvania Symphonic Winds, denen er den Beinamen An American band with a British Accent“ (Ein amerikanisches Blasorchester mit einem britischen Akzent“) gab, da er das Beste aus der Blasorchester-Tradition beider Länder miteinander vereinen wollte. Aus diesem Grund hat der Komponist Philip Sparke eine Suite aus britischen Volksliedern komponiert, wobei dieInstrumentierung einen amerikanischen Einfluss hat, um so die Philosophie des Orchesterbeinamens zu verwirklichen. Die drei Sätze, die ohne Pause gespielt werden, basieren auf den folgenden Volksliedern, die aus allen Gegenden der britischen Inseln stammen: The Three Ravens & The Cruiskeen Lawn, The Lark in the Clear Air sowie The Piper o’ Dundee & Men of Harlech. Songs from Across the Water est une commande du Pennsylvania Symphonic Winds et de Phil Evans, fondateur et directeur. Phil Evans est originaire du Royaume-Uni où il a joué dans l’orchestre des HM Royal Marines pendant 25 ans. Vivant désormais aux Etats-Unis, il y a fondé le Pennsylvania Symphonic Winds en 2008 et lui a donné le slogan « un orchestre américain l’accent britannique », aspirant combiner les meilleures traditions d’harmonies des deux pays. Avec cette idée l’esprit, le compositeur Philip Sparke a décidé de créer une suite de chansons folkloriques britanniques, orchestrées l’influence américaine en rapport avec la philosophie du groupe. Les troismouvements qui s’enchaînent reposent sur les trois chansons folkloriques suivantes, qui viennent de tous les coins des Îles Britanniques : The Three Ravens & The Cruiskeen Lawn, The Lark in the Clear Air et The Piper o’ Dundee & Men of Harlech.

1. Emerald Isle, in this part, the musical spotlight focuses in on the green island of Ireland and its great wealth of traditional folk music. The piece opens with the air ‘My Lodging Is on the Cold Ground’, also known under the title ‘Believe Me, If All Those Endearing Young Charms’ (bars 5-24). Next, we hear another well-known air ‘The Minstrel Boy’ (bars 29-44). Finally, the air ‘The Groves of Blarney’, possibly better known as ‘The Last Rose of Summer’ (bars 53-68) is heard. Each air is heralded by a short introduction and brought to an end by a short conclusion. 2. Old Kentucky Memories, following an introduction of 14 bars all attention is claimed by the song ‘My Old Kentucky Home’. As the piece goes on, snippets of memories emerge, fleetingly, surfacing fast, but quickly disappearing again: this is musically featured by way of small motifs and themes from other songs. These can be heard briefly, and then they disappear, musing on Old Kentucky until the introduction returns to end the piece. 3. Uppland, is a province in Sweden that had a rich folk music culture, like the whole of Sweden, that boasts many songs and dances. A notable amount of these songs and dances have been composed in minor keys, three of which feature in this part. First, we hear ‘Svensk folkvisa’(bars 1-38), followed by the famous ‘Värmlandsvisanà ¢â‚¬â„¢ (bars 39-67) and then brought to an end by ‘Vexelsang’ (bars 68-end). 4. Ratatouille, in this part, no folk songs of just one country or one province are featured. This piece is a mishmash (or ratatouille), a hotchpotch of three folk songs with no significant relation at all. In succession, we hear a song from Russia (bars 1-30), one from Japan (bars 31-58) and one from Australia (bars 59-end). The composer of the Russian song titled ‘The Nightingale’ is Alexander Alyabyev (1787 1851), but the composers of the Japanese song titled ‘Sakura’ and the Australian ‘Waltzing Matilda’ are unknown.1. Emerald Isle, in dit deel zijn de muzikale schijnwerpers gericht op het groene eiland Ierland, op de grote rijkdom aan traditionele volksmuziek. Het werkje opent met de air ‘My Lodging Is on the Cold Ground’, ook bekend onder de titel ‘Believe Me, If All Those Endearing Young Charms’ (maat 5-24). Daarna volgt de bekende air ‘The Minstrel Boy’ (maat 29-44). En ten slotte horen we nog de air ‘The Groves of Blarney’, misschien beter bekend als ‘The Last Rose of Summer’ (maat 53-68). Elke air wordt voorafgegaan door een korte inleiding en beëindigd met een korte afsluiting. 2. Old Kentucky Memories, na een inleiding van 14 maten (deels ook als afsluiting van dit deel gebruikt) wordt alle aandacht opgeëist door de song ‘My Old Kentucky Home’. Al gauw doemen er echter flarden van herinneringen op, vluchtig, snel opkomend, maar ook weer snel verdwijnend: dit krijgt muzikaal gestalte door middel van motiefjes en thema’s uit andere songs. Deze zijn even hoorbaar en dan weer vlug verdwenen... Mijmeren over Old Kentucky dus... 3. Uppland, is een provincie in Zweden met een rijke muziekcultuur, zoals heel Zweden trouwens ruim bedeeld is met volksliederen en volksdansen. Opvallend veel van deze liederen en dansen zijn gecomponeerd in mineurtoonsoorten. Dit is ook het geval met de drie voor dit deel uitgekozen songs: als eerste ‘Svensk folkvisa’(maat 1-38), gevolgd door het bekende ‘Värmlandsvisanà ¢â‚¬â„¢ (maat 39-67) en tot besluit ‘Vexelsang’ (maat 68-slot). 4. Ratatouille, in dit deel worden geen volksliedjes van één land of één provincie belicht. Dit werkje is een ‘ratjetoe’ (ratatouille), een allegaartje van drie folksongs die onderling geen enkel verband met elkaar hebben: de enige overeenkomst is dat ze alle drie als volksmuziek bestempeld kunnen worden. Achtereenvolgens klinkt er een lied uit Rusland (maat 1-30), uit Japan (maat 31-58) en uit Australië (maat 59-slot). Van het Russische lied met de titel ‘De nachtegaal’ is de componist bekend: dat is Aleksandr Aljabjev (1787 1851). Van het Japanse lied ‘Sakura’ en de Australische song ‘Waltzing Matilda’ kennen we niet de componist niet.1. Emerald Isle, in diesem Abschnitt richtet sich die musikalische Aufmerksamkeit auf die grüne Insel Irland mit ihrem großen Reichtum an traditioneller Volksmusik. Das Stück beginnt mit der Melodie My Lodging Is on the Cold Ground“, auch bekannt unter dem Titel Believe Me, If All Those Endearing Young Charms“ (Takt 5-24). Anschließend erklingt die bekannte Melodie The Minstrel Boy“ (Takt 29-44). Schließlich ist The Groves of Blarney“, vielleicht bekannter unter dem Titel The Last Rose of Summer“ (Takt 53-68), zu hören. Jede Melodie wird durch eine kurze Einleitung angekündigt und mit einem kurzen Nachspiel beendet. 2. Old Kentucky Memories, nach einer 14 Takte dauerndern Einleitung tritt das Lied My Old Kentucky Home“ in den Mittelpunkt. Im weiteren Verlauf des Stücks erscheinen bruchstückhafte Erinnerungen, die fast so schnell wieder verschwinden, wie sie auftauchen. Dies wird musikalisch durch kleine Motive und Themen aus anderen Liedern dargestellt. Diese sind kurz zu hören und verschwinden dann, während man über Old Kentucky nachdenkt, bis die Einleitung wieder erklingt, die zum Schluss des Stückes führt. 3. Uppland, ist eine schwedische Provinz, die wie ganz Schweden eine reiche Volksmusikkultur mit vielen Liedern und Tänzen hat. Eine große Anzahl der Lieder und Tänze, von denen drei in diesem Abschnitt enthalten sind, stehen in Moll-Tonarten. Zuerst hören wir Svensk folkvisa“ (Takt 1-38), darauf erklingt das berühmte Värmlandsvisan“ (Takt 39-67) und am Ende Vexelsang“ (Takt 68-end). 4. Ratatouille, in diesem Abschnitt werden nicht die Volkslieder eines einzigen Landes oder einer einzigen Provinz vorgestellt, sondern das Stück ist ein Mischung (oder Ratatouille“) aus drei Volksliedern, die keinerlei Beziehung zueinander haben. Zunächst erklingt ein Lied aus Russland (Takt 1-30), dann eines aus Japan (Takt 31-58) und zum Schluss eines aus Australien (Takt 59-Ende). Der Komponist des russischen Liedes mit dem Titel The Nightingale“ ist Alexander Alyabyev (1787 1851). Die Komponisten des japanischen Liedes Sakura“ und der australischen Melodie Waltzing Matilda“ sind unbekannt.1. Emerald Isle (ÃŽle d’émeraude), cette première partie met en vedette la verdoyante île d’Irlande et son riche patrimoine de musique folklorique traditionnelle. Elle s’ouvre avec « My Lodging Is on the Cold Ground », un air également connu sous le titre « Believe Me, If All Those Endearing Young Charms » (mesures 5-24). Vient ensuite un autre air célèbre, « The Minstrel Boy » (mesures 29-44), lui-même suivi de « The Groves of Blarney », peut être mieux connu sous le titre « The Last Rose of Summer » (mesures 53-68). Chaque air est annoncé par une courte introduction et s’achève avec une courte conclusion. 2. Old Kentucky Memories (Souvenirs du vieux Kentucky), après une introduction de 14 mesures, toute l’attention se porte sur la chanson « My Old Kentucky Home ». A fil de la pièce, des fragments de souvenirs fugaces émergent, disparaissant aussi vite qu’ils se présentent : cette impression est créée par le biais de courts motifs et thèmes empruntés d’autres chansons. On les entend brièvement puis ils s’estompent, comme de lointains souvenirs du vieux Kentucky, jusqu’ une reprise de l’introduction pour conclure la pièce. 3. Uppland, est une province suédoise aux riches traditions musicales, tout comme l’ensemble de la Suède, qui compte de nombreuses danses et chansons. Beaucoup sont en tonalité mineure, et cette partie en comprend trois. La première est « Svensk folkvisa » (mesures 1-38), qui est suivie de « ‘Värmlandsvisan » (mesures 39-67), et la pièce s’achève avec « Vexelsang » (mesure 68 jusqu’ la fin). 4. Ratatouille, cette dernière partie ne comprend pas d’air provenant d’un seul pays. C’est un méli-mélo, une « ratatouille » de trois chansons folkloriques sans aucun lien. Il y a d’abord une chanson russe, « Le Rossignol » (mesures 1-30), puis « Sakura », originaire du Japon (mesures 31-58) et, enfin, « Waltzing Matilda », venue d’Australie (mesure 59 jusqu’ la fin). La chanson russe est d’Alexander Alyabyev (1787-1851), mais nous ignorons les auteurs des deux autres chansons.

A major addition to the repertoire of transcriptions for organ, the whole suite or any one of the movements will delight performers and audiences alike. Vaughan Williams's original score for military band of 1923 (orchestrated by Gordon Jacob the following year) was a milestone in the introduction of English folk song to the classical repertory which both he and his friend Holst championed. Over its three contrasting movements (two marches separated by an intermezzo) no fewer than nine folk songs are presented, in both lively and emotive style. Greg Morris, organist at London's Temple Church, has deftly arranged the suite, providing generic registration suggestions for a romantic instrument, but in the hands of imaginative players the score will readily transfer to organs of most styles and eras.

2008 marked the 400th anniversary of the 1608 founding of Quebec City in Canada. The Band of Les Voltigeurs de Quebec, an infantry regiment of the Canadian forces, commissioned this piece as part of the anniversary celebrations.The folk songs of Quebec share, for obvious reasons, a history with the folk songs of France, but many can also claim to originate in Canada. All three movements of this suite use different settings of the evocative “La'-haut sur ces montagnes” as an introduction, and are then based on two popular folk songs. The first movement uses “Veillée rustique” and “Petit Jean,” the second uses “À la claire fontaine” and “Vive les matelots,” and the third is based on “C'est l'aviron” and “Au cabaret.&rdquo.
