Description
This piece is dedicated to the Sam Houston State University Symphonic Band in Huntsville, Texas with Ralph L. Mills, conductor. Sketches is one of Fisher Tull's most performed and recorded works for Band.

Sketches on a Tudor Psalm, composed in 1971, is based on the sixteenth century setting of the Second Psalm by Thomas Tallis. The original melody is in the Phrygian mode with the melody in the tenor voice. A modern adaptation is still used today in Anglican services. This is the same tune used by Ralph Vaughan Williams in his Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis for String Orchestra in 1910.
