Mayne, K :: Royal Concerto
Mayne, K
Royal Concerto consists of three movements. The first of three movements, The King and Court Jester, begins with regal fanfare followed quickly by the mischievous musings of the jester. Loosely following Sonata Allegro form, the middle section is in contrast to the opening statement and is slower and more contemplative, clearly not the jester's part! But during the development section the jester clearly has his say and does so with the quartet's cadenza. After which the full orchestra returns, and the king concludes with a festive fanfare finale.
The steady pulsing of the low flutes in In Her Majesty's Garden, provides a backdrop for the delicately syncopated melody of the quartet. The dynamic swells and rich harmonic colors of this movement makes this singular piece the favorite of all of Kathleen's compositions to date.
The King's Proclamation, is announced with a fanfare and followed by a melodic and rhythmic motif which is interwoven throughout the movement. The concerto grosso quality of alternating back and forth between the two groups is most prominent in this movement.
Each of these movements can stand alone as concert pieces. The entire concerto is 14 minutes in length. Includes score and parts
