Laudate

Laudate is a work consisting of two contrasting elements. After a noble introduction, we hear the first material; a graceful, florid prelude featuring the woodwind section. An interlude follows, preparing the arrival of a hymn tune by Joseph Haydn. Material from the introduction moves us to the heart of the work. We now hear both elements superimposed one upon the other. The work ends powerfully with a final utterance of emotional arrival.
