The Duke of Albany

This suite tells the story of John Stewart, the Duke of Albany, and Anne de la Tour, Comtesse d'Auvergne. The majestic first movement is about John Stewart, who sets off for Auvergne to marry Anne de la Tour. The second movement begins beautifully and romantically and describes the love story of Anne de la Tour and the Duke of Albany, followed by sounds of despair and loneliness. The ceremonial finale describes the construction of a new chapel and the dancing and celebrating population.
