A Centenary Tribute to Holst's First Suite in Eb
Concert and Contest Collection CBHA
This suite in C minor pays tribute to a famous classical wind work - the First Suite in E flat major by Gustav Holst from 1909 - and is published to mark its 100th anniversary. The four-movement suite is reminiscent of Holst's style, but also contains characteristic sound idioms and structural features by Jacob de Haan. A refreshing original composition, inspired by a classic that is by no means dusty.
