Composer's Note:

In writing these pieces I had in mind certain difficulties which worry most organists from time to time; and in order to combine, as it were, business with pleasure I thought it worthwhile to concentrate upon one aspect of organ technique in each piece, even at the risk of making them a little more difficult than others in this series.

In Procession the main difficulty lies in the pedals Arabesque, on the other hand could hardly have had a simpler pedal part: its object is to exercise the left hand in producing a smooth, running semi-quaver pattern Pageant with its cross-rhythms, is designed to produce well-disciplinedhands and feet that can, when required, work in conflicting rhythms.

I have kept the registration schemes as simple and straightforward as possible.

Ringers memorize the first eight measures and repeat them as they process to their places. Then they ring a brilliant score, following their director until the end. A superb work for worship, concert or festival.

Performance Notes: The handbell arrangements in this collection have been composed for use specifically with the We Celebrate hymnal published by WLP. The hymn tunes used, as well as their harmonizations, are commonly found in same form in many hymnals. The bell peal is intended to be used as part of an introduction to the hymn. The pattern may be repeated as many times as necessary, and is to be followed by an organ/instrumental introduction that leads to the singing of the hymn. The peal could be rung from a stationary position, or could be a processional (movement) by a small group of ringers. For processionals, parts enter from lowest to highest, or in any preferred order. Each part may be repeated as needed before the next part enters. The final chord is rung together when the procession is completed.

In this concise yet powerful work from Johnnie Vinson, the opening segment features a flourish from the woodwinds accompanying a fanfare figure in the brass. The stately processional march theme provides a contrast in style which is then followed by a return of the opening material for the dynamic finish. Dur: 3:30.

Courtly Procession and Dances brings the royal courts of medieval Europe to life at your next concert! The work opens with a stately brass and percussion fanfare. The courtly procession follows, and is played by the full ensemble. A slower, lyrical dance contrasts with the procession and eventually leads into a light-hearted and lively dance featuring very playable woodwind lines. The work concludes with a restatement of the processional. Courtly Procession and Dances is fresh, highly melodic, and great for variety in concert programming.
