Finzi, Gerald: Romance op. 11 (1928) 8'
for string orchestra

Scoring
strings

Repertoire Note  


Highly passionate in character and rich in its melodic invention, Finzi’s writing here is characteristically open-hearted and approachable. From the stillness of the opening, the music unfolds, reaching a peak of intensity before returning to its roots. This miniature is a string orchestral gem to set alongside Elgar’s Introduction and Allegro.
