Composers and Authors
Sacred Prelude, Op.15
By Jonathan David Little
Regular price
$55.00
A natural rubato is felt throughout this haunting, single-movement work for string orchestra. The sound is reminiscent of that of ancient church music. Written in the stile antico, it opens with a “Plainsong”, then comes the main central “Anthem”. There is a brief reprise of the opening theme, before the work closes with a more emphatic “Fantasia” (where the sense of rubato becomes almost improvisatory). The work, as a whole, may be said to comprise a poignant “prayer” for strings. c.11'00
Arranged by Anthony Weeden in collaboration with the composer.

$45.00 for instant digital downloadTerpsichore, Op.7
By Jonathan Little
Regular price
$150.00
The precocious Muse begins her wild, whirling dance;
Entrancing Terpsichore dazzles all those who behold her:
A most majestic and dramatic solo performer;
The beguiling Muse slows and strikes a pose;
Her frenzied dance resumes;
The Muse displays her hypnotic, swaying gracefulness;
She pauses one last time;
Her recollection of past glories, and homage to the ancient circular dances;
The capricious Terpisichore's Finale!

or "All Passion Spent"
Part song for a cappella SSAATTBB choir, c.12'00
Lyrics by John Leicester Warren, Lord de Tabley (1835-1895). From "A Parting":
Wasted and worn that passion must expire,
Which swept at sunrise like a sudden fire
Across the whitened crest of happy waves.
Now lonely in a labyrinth of graves,
His footsteps foiled, his spirit bound and numb,
Gray Love sits dumb.
