Jon Lord's Sarabande was composed during 1975 and released as a solo album the following year. This newrevised edition of the composer's2010 concert version represents the first appearance of the work in print in any form. Lord intended it for his own use in live performance, as a companion to his celebrated Concerto for Groupand Orchestra. It is a brilliant showpiece for thecombined forces of rock band and orchestra, taking inspiration from the keyboard suites of J.S. Bach. This new full score is edited by Jon Lord's long-time musicalcollaborator, the conductor Paul Mann, and makes use of many previously unavailablesources including the man uscriptscores of the original version and a copy of the score corrected in consultation with the composer following the2010 premiere. It can therefore be said to represent as closely as possible Jon Lord's final thoughts onthe work.
