I'm building a complete concert piece, one movement at a time. this is my homage to some of my favorite English composers. Part I is A Country Place, which I've posted here before. The new part is a little Jig, which is typical for English music from the early 20th century. So, it's fairly cliched and hackneyed, but I hope to have brought some fresh little twists into it.
I'm calling the piece Brits.

I enjoyed it! You certainly have captured the feel of a variety of English composers. Very well done!

Thank you, David. The English have a particular style that resonates with me intensely. Holst, Bliss, Vaughn-Williams, Elgar. Next week, I'll be in a Russian or French mood. I hope I can stay in the English mode long enough to come up with a third movement for this piece.

Very good!
I´m going to follow you from now on
Oh, and it sounds rather Britten-ish to me, parts would surely fit into the midsummernight´s dream. But that´s a good thing, as I love Britten.

I haven't heard much Britten beyond A Children's Guide To The Orchestra. and that famous pizzicato thing (I think that's from A Simple Symphony).
Thanks for following me. Just beware that I expect that a final movement for this piece is likely to be pretty ambitious for me and will take quite some time.
Thank you for listening, epiphaneia.

I can definitely hear a Holst influence in the first piece. It's conjuring images of large swathes of rolling countryside. The second piece is much chirpier with those changes in rhythm, maybe an accompaniment for the everyday goings-on associated with village life in the English countryside.
Good work
