Three Pieces for Organ by Howard Snell

Three Pieces for Organ - Howard Snell. We are thrilled that the Northamptonshire composer, Howard Snell, has written Three Pieces for Organ, dedicated to NDOA on our centenary.

Howard Snell was born in Wollaston, Northants. He is one of the best-known figures in brass music worldwide. By mid-career he decided to focus on conducting and writing.

The three pieces are:

A Song for John Clare, the 19th-century Northamptonshire Poet;

A Lament, an arrangement of a movement from an orchestral suite by Georg Telemann, and

A Salute to Sir Malcolm, written expressly for the Association’s commission and dedicated to the memory of Sir Malcolm Arnold, one of Northamptonshire’s premier musical personalities.

The first page of each piece is displayed below by kind permission of the composer.
