Passacaglia (from Suite No. 7)

Handel’s “Passacaglia” from “Suite No. 7 in G minor” was originally written for harpsichord and consists of a series of variations over a repeating four-measure harmonic progression. In this masterful transcription by Robert Longfield, Handel’s Baroque gem serves as a vehicle to showcase the colors and timbres of the modern concert band. Dur: 4:30
