Terry Kenny's suite has got three parts: Rondo, Romance and Trepak.

£186.20Suite No.1 - Oliver Waespi
The "Suite for Wind Orchestra" has three parts. The introductory "Symphonic Movement" is based on two opposite musical ideas. The first is chromatic, whereas the second is rather diatonically harmonized. The "Nocturne" or second part is contrasting with the preceding part and is written in the minor key. The quiet atmosphere at the end of the "Nocturne" is abruptly interrupted by the "Toccata". This part, a "Vivace", leading into a "Presto" at the end, has a wild, passionate character.
