John Bull’s hexachord fantasia is a miracle of modulation. Its “theme” is an ascending/descending hexachord, played on every chromatic step of the G scale. Especially the Db phrase comes as a big surprise.

I decided to arrange it for recorders ATTB (or ATBB) where the first T switches to Soprano in the end. Transcription (and deciding what instruments, and how to fit the music to them) was a surprising amount of work, but I think the result sounds cool.

Ensembles have to think ahead for their concerts, and composers have to think even more ahead. So I decided to write a winter solstice piece,  in the middle of summer.

This sounds a little like the Folia ground bass, and it’s little like a Chaconne, and it’s a canon. Five sections, played in canon. You can play this solo as a theme with variations, or a two-voice canon, or an ensemble piece, or…
