Description
The “Capriol Suite,” Peter Warlock’s masterpiece of Renaissance-inspired dance music, is presented here in a definitive brass band arrangement by Andrew Owenson. The suite features the iconic movements: Basse-Danse, Pavane, Tordion, Bransles, Pieds-en-l’air, and Mattachins. Andrew Owenson’s transcription captures the distinct character of each dance—from the stately and somber Pavane to the wild, rhythmic energy of the Mattachins. The arrangement demands a wide range of styles, from delicate phrasing to robust, articulate playing. This is a premiere choice for any band seeking a sophisticated, historically-rooted work that offers both technical challenges and immense audience appeal.
