Vectis Isle (score)

VECTIS ISLE is the Roman name for the Isle of Wright

STATELY OSBORNE
Osborne House was the summer residence of Queen Victoria. Music of fanfares and pageantry in 3/4 time, with a central delicate minuet section, before returning to the original fanfares and stately themes.

PICTURESQUE CALBOURNE
Calbourne is a pretty, tiny country village with its feature of an old water mill. The music is pastorale in style. 6/8 rhythms with a free and easy waltz section.

THE OLD CHURCH AT GODSHILL
This movement links directly from the second, but may be played on its own if desired. Godshill is a quaint but beautiful village of thatched cottages by an old church.

SANDOWN HOLIDAYS
This final movement is intended to portray the happy atmosphere of this pleasant seaside resort, with just a moment or two to laze on the fine beaches under an afternoon sun before the final allegro concludes this suite.
