Notes
An Album for the Carillon
includes
settings of some familiar and some not-so-familiar hymn tunes and
traditional songs, along with transcriptions of five exerpts from the
classics (Elgar, Dvorak, Handel, Parry, and Sibelius). This new publication includes all of the contents of the loose-leaf
edition dating from 2003, augmented by several settings of varied nature.
Many of the scores in this collection
were prepared for Cranbrook-Kingswood Schools' graduation ceremonies at
Christ Church Cranbrook in 2000, while numerous others have been added to
encompass Christmas and other celebrated holidays, occasions and seasons.
Three settings that originally appeared as
A Jamesian Suite have found their
way into An Album for the Carillon;
they set six different hymn tunes in varied styles and are starred in the
Table of Contents. Some movements in the album are more extended than others
and offer greater technical challenges, notably the Variations on Greensleeves,
Quodlibet
and Aria
on Brother
James’ Air,
Mit Freuden Zart
and St. James, and the Sonata on Marion and
The Ashgrove. The three verses on Deus tuorum militum and the
New World Reverie are
the two most recent additions, prepared for this new edition.
In many cases, individual component sections from some of the larger
settings can easily be extracted from their context in order to meet
individualized performance needs and time limitations.
N.B.
In some
instances, lower bass pedal notes and bells available only on larger
carillons have been included, with their alternative octave pitches for standard instruments notated
in parentheses.
Tempo markings are of a general nature and will allow great
adaptability from one performance and instrument to another. Please note that whenever a grace note appears, it is
intended – more often than not – to be sounded on the main beat to which it
is attached; when used in conjunction with a vertical wavy arpeggiation
line, the grace note pitch should lead the arpeggiation or tremolando; the
performer will ultimately determine the most appropriate choice from one
instance to another between open-handed rolled chords and alternating fist
keyboard arpeggiations.
