Vitezslav Novak - Suite Eslovaca (Part 1)

 
 
 
Vítězslav Novák (1870-1949 : Czechoslovakia)

Slovak Suite for Small Orchestra, Op.32 (1903)

I. At Church (andante) (also listed as 'In the Church')

The Slovak Suite (1903), paints a series of genre scenes in which
sensitivity rather than the picturesque is the keynote.
'At Church' (andante) achieves a curious synthesis of Catholic
temperament (mystic strings, celestial harps) and Protestant
spirituality (hymn tunes and imperious interventions from organ)
