Description
Country Pageant and a Little Book of Dances is a collection of pieces showcasing the unique style of English composer Herbert Howells. The music features modal inflections, the influence of 16th-century English composers, and a range of moods, from quirky fast movements to elegiac melodies.
These two sets of pieces demonstrate the composer's mastery of melody and harmony, with 'There was a most beautiful lady' standing out for its beautiful, contemplative qualities. This publication provides a valuable insight into Howells' music, making it a useful resource for musicians and music enthusiasts alike.
