Oorspronklik

In its original form the Suite was written in answer to a commission from the Farnham Festival and was first performed on 11 May 1971. I was, however, not entirely satisfied with it and did not pass it for publication until 1982, when I revised it in considerable detail. In its revised form it was first performed on 18 June, 1983, at Monash University, Melbourne. The music requires little explanation. The titles of each of the five movements indicate their character. 'Fanfare'. 'Dance', which has Elizabethan overtones. 'Popular Song', which explores jazz rhythms and harmonies. 'Ceremony' - a solemn chorale. and 'Finale', a light-hearted Rondo with fugal touches. The overall intention is simply to entertain both the players and their audiences.

Vertaling

In sy oorspronklike vorm die Suite is in antwoord geskryf vir 'n kommissie van die Farnham Festival en is vir die eerste keer op 11 Mei 1971. Ek was egter nie heeltemal tevrede met dit en het nie slaag om dit vir publikasie tot 1982, toe ek hersien dit in aansienlike detail. In sy hersiene vorm is dit die eerste keer op 18 Junie, 1983, by die Monash Universiteit, Melbourne. Die musiek verg min verduideliking. Die titels van elk van die vyf bewegings dui hul karakter. 'Fanfare'. "Dans", wat Elizabethaanse ondertone. 'Popular Song ", wat ondersoek jazz-ritmes en harmonieë. 'Seremonie' - 'n plegtige koraal. en 'Finale', 'n lighartige Rondo met fugal raak. Die algehele doel is eenvoudig beide die spelers en hul gehore te vermaak.
