Composed by Traditional French Carol. Arranged by Joseph I. Corporon. This edition: pdf. Chamber, Historic, Religious, Sacred, Traditional. Score and part. 12 pages. Joseph I. Corporon #1228889. Published by Joseph I. Corporon (A0.1662833).

Fantasia on Picardy for Violoncello and Organ has been arranged by Joseph I. Corporon (ASCAP). The 17th century French carol, PICARDY, has been paired with many different hymn texts over the last 4 centuries, and adapts well to the two instruments in this arrangement. Fantasias are compositions with roots in improvisation, and are typically free-form pieces that aren't bound to traditional structural forms.

The PICARDY hymn tune is the main component of this arrangement. The Violoncello opens the piece by playing a series of D natural minor scales of various lengths, with dotted rhythms in between the scale passages. This is effective at sounding like an improvised passage. The structure of the piece is below:

  • First improvisatory scale section, Violoncello.
  • Full Organ plays PICARDY melody, Violoncello accompanies.
  • Second improvisatory scale section, both instruments.
  • Extended Violoncello pizzcato section, organ pedals play PICARDY melody.
  • Modulation to G minor. Violoncello plays PICARDY melody, organ accompanies a fifth higher.
  • Third improvisatory scale section lead by Organ. Violoncello articulates each sequence with quadruple stop chords.
  • Fourth improvisatory scale section, Violoncello.
  • Short, but dramatic Allegro section, both instruments.
  • Fifth improvisatory scale section, Violoncello.
  • Piece ends with both instruments playing a Picardy third chord.
