Capriol Suite by Warlock

[SIMON GABRIELOW]

Another musical selection I have had in my collection for many years; a wonderfully evocative, and varied musical work by Warlock [ Philip Heseltine]. [one of the many clever[lesser known]  composers we had in Britain during the early 20th Century]..Normally played with string orchestra, but very playable on concertina due to the variety of rhythm and form in the movements [ particulalry the last movement  - 'Mattachins' [a sword dance!]

After the beginning - a serene slow movement is followed by  a 'lullaby' like tune - then closes with the snappy final mattachins!

 

 

[James Fitton]

This suite is a great favourite of mine. I've never tried it on Concertina, so thanks for leading me in its direction, Simon! It's such a good suite of tunes.
