Product Description

Prelude on Lancashire for Viola and Organ has been arranged by Joseph I. Corporon. This piece is also available for Violin and Violoncello with Organ accompaniment.

Henry T. Smart composed the tune in 1835 for use at a missions festival at Blackburn, Lancashire, England. For that festival, which celebrated the three-hundredth anniversary of the Reformation in England, the tune was set to Reginald Hebers From Greenlands Icy Mountains. The tune is also associated with other hymn texts such as, Go, Make of All Disciples, Lead On O King Eternal, and The Day of Resurrection.

This arrangement begins in B minor with the Viola playing the melody and the organ accompanying. After the instruments switch roles the music modulates to D major. The accompaniment throughout is dominated by a figure with three slurred notes to one unslurred note, and is present in both instruments.

The solo violist will need to be comfortable with frequent bow distribution issues, accidentals, extended use of the treble clef, playing in high positions, and playing octaves.
