Aelfred Mec - for junior string orchestra

Aelfred Mec, for junior-intermediate string orchestra Kent Dykstra and the mass orchestra from the Reformed Strings Camp 2024 Composers Notes This piece is about the “Alfred Jewel”, an artifact found from the reign of Alfred the Great, who fought off the Vikings, promoted literacy and spiritual reform and united the lands that we now call England. This musical work is very special because it includes musicians of all abilities, from beginners to more advanced players, with the music building in intensity and difficulty as one might progress from learning their ABCs to reading sentences and paragraphs. The “Alfred Jewel” is unique in that it was a noble gift intended to not just be beautiful but to also be a practical tool to help the owner in their efforts in learning to read, as Alfred the Great helped bring back literacy to his people. For this reason I thought it would be a fitting emblem to write this piece around. For more reading I highly recommend the White Horse King by Ben Merkle. EH
