Question

John Coprario invented a type of musical suite in which one of these pieces was usually followed by an “almand” and a “galliard.” The tenor viol sustains a middle C throughout the entire duration of a Henry Purcell piece in this genre, which is titled [this type of piece] “upon one note.” A harmonically-complex J.S. Bach piece for keyboard in this genre contains a contrasting middle section marked “recitativo” (re-chi-ta-TEE-vo); that (*) “Chromatic” piece in this genre is accompanied by a fugue, as is a “Great” one of these pieces Bach wrote for organ. A modern piece in this genre, which imitates the sound of an organ with three carefully-positioned string sections, is based on a setting of “Why fum’th in (10[1])fight.” For 10 (10[1])points, name this musical form exemplified by a Ralph Vaughan Williams piece based on a theme by Thomas Tallis. ■END■
