Description

The piece begins with a series of open vamps and ensemble responses before leading into the main theme of the piece, a simple, folk-like tune played in the low voices. Solos are for soprano and trumpet 2. The recapitulation is in double-fugue, and the real challenge of this piece is the independence of the parts. While each individual part is not terribly challenging on its own, the exact alignment of the voices is essential.
