Ballade - EH/ORGAN

Ballade
for English horn and organ
by Leo Sowerby (1895-1968) - American composer and church musician

Written in 1949 for English hornist Louis Speyer, the beauty of this piece is just as obvious today. With varying tempos and frequent modulations, this piece takes on a life of its own. Optional parts for violin, viola, and clarinet are included, adding to the richness of the setting. This is an excellent concert choice.
