Specimen Answers To The Questions for Piano Diplomas/Degrees

Geoffrey Tankard was a British composer, conductor and highly esteemed educator at the Royal College of Music and later in Bermuda. His seminal work, Pianoforte Technique on an Hour a Day, has remained an touchstone of Piano technical study since its appearance in 1960. In Specimen Answers, Tankard does not attempt to give answers for memorization, but rather to offer some possible answers for consideration.The language is erudite and refreshingly straightforward and any student of these two works would find this volume a welcome guide to understanding the pieces in depth.

Granville Bantock: Go Down, Moses (No.1 From 'Ten Negro Spirtuals')

Bliss: Things To Come Concert Suite (Score)

For a man who achieved so much in his own field, Bliss's wide-ranging, undogmatic appetite for the whole arts scene was extraordinary. While he had a profound knowledge and understanding of American and European writing, dance, graphics, poetry, sculpture, painting and design, both contemporary and classical, for theatre he had a special sympathy and rapport. Its qualities of timing, drama, economy and pace are everywhere to be found in his work, with his own flair for colour and the understanding that theatre is a means and medium of expression, not the message itself, that gesture, like logic, is a tool, not a truth. What gives his music durability is the appreciation of classical values - proportion, design, restraint, integrity and growth. Nowhere will you find a better demonstration than Things to Come of this synthesis of vision, intellect, technique and panache.

Steven Griffin: A Hymn To The Virgin

Written for the King's Singers, A Hymn To The Virgin won the 'A Carol for Christmas' competition run by the vocal sextet and Classic FM. Re-edited for SSATBB, the two languages of the text are set in contrasting styles of solo lines and chordal harmony, coming together at the end of each verse. A meditative work that would make an excellent concert ending.

Gustav Holst: Ode To Death Op.38 (Study Score)

One of Holst's most under-appreciated works, Ode To Death (Op. 38) was written in 1919 in response to the First World War, and mourned his friends who had died in that conflict. Scored for SATB Chorus and Orchestra, it is a setting of the elegiac poem When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd by Walt Whitman. Gustav Holst (1874-1934) was an English composer and teacher. Having studied under Stanford and Parry, he became a close friend of Vaughan Williams – they would often critique each other’s work – and influenced composers such as Tippet and Britten. He is best remembered for his Planets suite.

George Frideric Handel: Zadok The Priest (7-Part Ed. Edouard Silas)

Handel wrote his magnificent Zadock the Priest for the Coronation of King George II and Queen Caroline in 1727, and it has been performed at every British coronation since then. It is often used in royal weddings, as well, and is the television theme for the UEFA Cup champsionships.This Zadock the Priest is scored for SSAATB Chorus and Piano. Its familiar opening no longer carries the surprise element it once did, with the mezzoforte String passage leading to a sudden tutti forte entrance with the words ‘Zadok the Priest’, but it retains its effectiveness. The middle passage is a dancelike ¾ rhythm before the work returns to stately 4/4 for the God Save the King, alleluias and amens.

Purcell, H Welcome To All The Pleasures V/S + Strings

Henry Purcell (1659-1695) held numerous appointments at the Royal Court and Westminster Abbey, and is considered by many to be the greatest ever English-born composer. His prolific work covered all fields: orchestral, ecclesiastical, operatic, theatrical, incidental, and chamber music were all enriched by his output. Written in 1683, Welcome To All The Pleasure (Z339) is the first of the three Odes that Purcell wrote for St Cecilia's Day. It was commissioned by the London Music Society for their first festival, and sets a poem by Christopher Fishburn. It is scored for SATB Chorus; Alto, Tenor, and Bass soloists; and Strings.

RR Bennett: A Farewell To Arms for SATB Chorus and Cello

However often Bennett may have employed serial techniques or introduced jazz and modern elements into his work, his Choral compositions are always tonal and melodic. In A Farewell To Arms he displays an exquisite sensitivity to the poetry of Ralph Knevet (17th century) and George Peele (16th century) and their mediations on the homely life after years spent soldiering. The Cello can be heard to serve as the ‘Voice’ of the old soldier. The music combines the jaggedly Romantic Cello line with Choral writing that suggests early music motifs and harmonies.Composer, performer and arranger Richard Rodney Bennett was internationally respected for his serious music and many award-winning film scores (Murder on the Orient Express, Nicholas and Alexandra) as well as his works for children and his religious pieces. In addition, this markedly versatile musician frequently performed as a jazz pianist.

Sigfrid Karg-Elert: Homage To Handel (54 Variations For Organ)

The Homage to Handel for Organ was composed ‘as an expression of thanks for having been elected as an honorary member of the Royal College of Organists in 1914. Karg-Elert responded to the honour with this work, calling on inspiration from a composer ‘whom both England and German claim as their own’, at the time of the commencement of hostilities between the two nations. Sigfrid Karg-Elert was a German composer active in the early twentieth century whose broad output is eclipsed almost entirely by his works for harmonium and Organ, instruments for which he was a gifted and prolific composer. His Organ works include the highly regarded Sixty-six Choral Improvisations and Twenty Choral Preludes and Postludes among others. Many of his works are active in Organ repertoire.

Harold Darke: To Daffodils

For SATB Choir (Mixed Voices) A Cappella. Text: Robert Herrick

Edwin Lemare: Toccata Di Concerto For Organ

Lemare’s compositions are uneven in quality, but the best are still active in the repertoire. The Toccata di Concerto is certainly full of fireworks and has the capacity to show the abilities of a great Organ. The upper parts have plenty of French toccata style, but the theme in the pedals gives the piece substance, as does the romantic, chromatic interlude in the middle of the work.Organ virtuoso and composer Edwin Lemare was the world’s highest-paid Organist at the height of his career in the early 1900’s, drawing bravos from ctritics and the crowds who queued around the block to hear this most famous of Organists. After having served as a church Organist for a relatively short period, he began the life of a travelling recitalist, beginning with a hundred-recital tour of the USA and Canada in 1900, a career that continued until the stock market crash of 1929. Lemare was also virtuosic in his ability to transcribe great Orchestral works for the Organ, allowing audiences in those less urban times to hear works played live that they might have heard no other way.

George Dyson: Variations On Old Psalm Tunes for Organ Book 1

In the Variations on Old Psalm-Tunes for Organ, Dyson fully explores the composer’s chosen sources: Orlando Gibbons’s ‘Forth in Thy name, O Lord, I go’, Pry’s Psalter (1621) ‘O Lord, turn not away Thy face’, Thomas Campion’s ‘By the waters of Babylon’, and ‘God moves in a mysterious way’ from the Scottish Psalter (1635). These works are popular for service voluntaries.Twentieth century composer and educator George Dyson was a writer of ambitious and critically well-received works that, due to their unfashionably accessible, late Romantic style, were allowed to languish and are now in the process of reassessment and renewed performance. However, Dyson’s works for unison Voice and church music – in particular his two settings of the Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis – have remained active in the Anglican repertoire.

Edwin Lemare: Andantino In Db For Organ

Lemare’s compositions are uneven in quality, but the best are still active in the repertoire. The Andantino – also known as ‘Moonlight and Roses’ – is the best known of his pieces and was requested by audiences at every concert he performed. The work requires thumbing down, so the performing is playing on three manuals at once.Organ virtuoso and composer Edwin Lemare was the world’s highest-paid Organist at the height of his career in the early 1900’s, drawing bravos from ctritics and the crowds who queued around the block to hear this most famous of Organists. After having served as a church Organist for a relatively short period, he began the life of a travelling recitalist, beginning with a hundred-recital tour of the USA and Canada in 1900, a career that continued until the stock market crash of 1929.
