"These pieces are easy, functional, finely written music
in the style of Clarke, Purcell, Stanley, etc. They are in 8
bar phrases with conveniently printed double bars, thus enabling
the player to lengthen or shorten them with ease. A pleasant
change from the usual wedding-march music." -Journal
of the Anglican Association of Musicians, March 1993
"excellent alternatives to the 'old standards'
for wedding processionals. The trumpet tunes employ the classical
style of writing with some fresh 20th- century harmonies.Rowan
is successful in imitating the style of Clarke in his Voluntaries,
which use diatonic harmonies, dotted rhythms, walking bass lines,
and trumpet solo sections alternating with interludes specified
for 8' and 4' principals.These pieces are well suited for Gospel
processions, commencements, and other festive occasions. Highly
recommended."-Cross Accent, 1/94
"In the first of his two delightful trumpet
voluntaries, Rowan places the tune first in the soprano and then
in the tenor. Both pieces are bright, easy to play, accessible
to the general audience, and would make a wonderful wedding processional/recessional."
-Pastoral Music Notebook, March 1995
Description
Two excellent organ voluntaries for
festive occasions and weddings. In the style of Jeremiah Clarke,
but we think William Rowan has outdone old Jeremiah.
