An Original Suite

An Original Suite by Gordon Jacob, performed by Washington High School Symphonic Band from Sioux Falls, SD. Recorded at the Washington Pavilion in Sioux Falls, SD on April 29, 2008. Conducted by Jennifer Hawkinson.

Program Notes:
A standard in the wind band repertoire, "An Original Suite" was written in 1924 as Jacob was a student at the Royal Academy of Music. The title was given to distinguish this as a new work and not an arrangement, as there was little new music being written at the time for what was then "military band". The first movement is set in the form of a traditional British march. The second movement is modeled after the popular Irish tune, "Londonderry Air". He closes with a finale in rondo form, using contrasting sections of melody, in 2/4, and accompaniment in 6/8 simultaneously.
