Yorkshire Ballad

Yorkshire Ballad is a three-part setting of a folk-like melody. The primary theme of the
piece is constructed from four phrases juxtaposed into one melody. Each statement of this melody
is introduced by a different group of instruments. The first statement begins softly, primarily with
woodwind voices, and builds to an emotional climax with the addition of the brass and percussion
at the conclusion of the third statement. The piececoncludes in a quiet and relaxed fashion.
