wind ensemble MAURICE HODGES Irish tunes (Set 1) woodwind quartet (fl, ob, cl (B flat & A), bn) This set of pieces (along with Set 2 for recorders) was published in 1992 by WOODWINDplus, to whom I am very grateful for bringing them to a wide audience; they have had many performances and have been in the repertoire of several professional ensembles, including the London Wind Quartet and the Scottish group Illuminati. The first three tunes are relatively short and easy, and may be performed as a set on their own in the order 2, 3, 1; the last movement is more extended and difficult. The tunes are: 1 The red-haired boy (hornpipe), 2 I know my love, 3 Lovely Mollie, 4 The mountain lark (reel) (incorporating The Four Courts). Durations 1’20”, 1’10”, 1’35”, 3’35” (total about 8’) GP05 Score and parts £ 14.70 MAURICE HODGES Irish tunes (Set 2) version for saxophone quartet (SATBar) from the original for recorders In preparation MAURICE HODGES Irish tunes (Set 3) wind quintet (fl, ob, cl, hn, bn) Project recorders MAURICE HODGES Irish tunes (Set 2) SATB This set of pieces (along with Set 1 for woodwind quartet) was published in 1992 by WOODWINDplus. They were written for the Cambridge branch of the Society of Recorder Players but, although there are short passages with extra parts for group playing, the music is self-sufficient with four players and versions for string quartet and saxophone quartet are in the pipeline! The tunes are: 1 A morning in summer (jig), 2 By the church at Creggan, 3 Hymn to the heart of Jesus, 4 The king of Laois (6/8 march). Durations 2’20”, 1’30”, 1’40”, 2’05” (total about 8’30”) GP02 Score and parts £ 10.80 MAURICE HODGES The Little Black Rose (fantasia on the Irish folk tune) SATB Conceived as a ‘musical history’ of the tune, using four progressively more elaborate versions, the piece begins with a wild soprano cadenza. The simple Dorian version introduced underneath by the tenor gradually grows to a climactic much-ornamented C major version in two-part free canon. A bass cadenza leads to the piece’s disappearance in a wisp of Irish mist! Duration about 5’30” GP04 Score and parts £ 10.00 keyboard TURLOUGH CAROLAN Three Carolan Tunes arranged for piano solo Project TURLOUGH CAROLAN Carolan’s Farewell to Music arranged for harpsichord In preparation string quartet MAURICE HODGES Irish tunes (Set 2) from the original for recorders In preparation wind_instruments.htmlWorks_in_preparation.htmlprojects.htmlrecorders.htmlkeyboard.htmlprojects.htmlWorks_in_preparation.htmlstring_quartet.htmlWorks_in_preparation.htmlshapeimage_2_link_0shapeimage_2_link_1shapeimage_2_link_2shapeimage_2_link_3shapeimage_2_link_4shapeimage_2_link_5shapeimage_2_link_6shapeimage_2_link_7shapeimage_2_link_8
