This work can be performed with a minimum of 2 flutes, 2 clarinets, 1 trumpet, percussion, violins 1 %26 2, viola (or violin 3) and cello. A distant drum-beat indicates the approaching procession which passes and gives way to four linked sections suggesting the various displays at the gala. A jig-like country dance is linked to a stately strathspey which, despite its 'Scotch Snap', has a blues like tread. The dance that follows fades and eventually leads into a graceful waltz. This, in turn, is abandoned when the distant procession is heard making its return journey. A solo flute lazily recalls the country dance tune whilst trudging wearily home. The final major chord provides a perfect sunset!
Duration: 10 minutes
A PACK comprises one full score, stringparts 4/4/3/4/2 and any wind, brass and percussion parts.
