DAVID ASHLEY WHITE'S
TRIPTYCH
for organ & brass quintet
DAVID ASHLEY WHITE, composer
David White has served as professor of composition at the University of Houston's School of Music. His large catalog of compositions includes works for band, orchestra, choir, solo voice and various chamber ensembles. White's vocal pieces are in current editions of the Episcopal hymnal and the new Methodist hymnal.
Triptych (1979) was commissioned by Houston organist Alison Rudd, and is patterned after the Baroque concerto grosso style. The "Prelude" sets a quiet, lyrical mood. The emphasis is on solo lines which are passed from one instrument to another. The "Capriccio" is characterized by rapidly changing meters and more angular melodic lines in its outer sections, and flowing cantabile material in the middle portion. The concluding "Hymn" is a theme and variations, with the theme first heard as an offstage trumpet solo. This movement is based on a n original hymn tune for the Advent season.
