FANFARE CHACONNE AND SORTIE

Composer: ASHDOWN, FRANKLIN D

Here's a great three-movement work that can be performed as a suite or with th e movements played independently. The Fanfare is brief, yet creates a brillian t opening with bright, fanfare-type rhythms ending with full chords. The Chaco nne is a melodic movement primarily in 6/4 with a flowing melody accompanied b y a moving left hand and a simple pedal part. The group ends with a full Sorti e involving full chords and a rhythmic right hand. Triplet patterns lead to th e full chords and full organ at the climatic conclusion.
