One of Beethoven’s most memorable and beautiful melodies, the Adagio Sostenuto from Sonata No.14 is sure to delight any audience. This arrangement inverts the original structure by placing the delicate moving line in the tenor section and giving the bulk of the melodic material to the more resonant double seconds. Multi-octave arpeggios are cascaded across the entire range of the ensemble to an enchanting effect.
This beautiful aria is often erroneously attributed to J.S. Bach due to its inclusion in the Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach, but was most likely written by the German composer Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel.
Probably Elgar’s best remembered and most played composition from it’s use in graduation ceremonies, this march highlights the ability of the ensemble to present contrasting expressive moods in a single piece.
