Description:
Instrumentation: 2(picc.)2.2.2.-4.2.3.0, timp, perc., Str.
This one-movement concert piece, composed in Paris between April 1893 and October 1894, is Hopekirk’s most extensive surviving work. It is one of her earlier orchestral works and combines Romantic gestures and ornamentation with elements of Scottish music, such as pentatonic scales and ancient church modes, which Hopekirk regarded as "the underlying unity of many folk songs from various countries." With a duration of about twenty minutes, the work brings together the elements and influences that would shape her later work and define her identity as a composer.
