I – Fanfare & Theme
II – Song
III – Hymn
IV – Toccata & Finale
A Gallimaufry Suite consists of four movements, all thematically independent. The
first movement consists of a sparkling Fanfare followed by a stately Theme which
ends quietly. The second movement is a Children’s Song; quirky but cute, and the
Hymn which follows is a study in calm and tranquillity, featuring a quartet-group
of cornet, baritone, trombone and euphonium. The last movement is a virtuosic
Toccata which eventually begins to recall the other themes of the suite before a
grand reprise of the first movement Theme brings the work to a dazzling
conclusion.
Approximate duration: 11 minutes
