Lemare’s compositions were designed to show off the organs of his day, his symphonies rival those of his French contemporaries.
The Scherzo (Symphony 1) has an energetic theme. The central section is lighter providing a pause before the opening theme returns & builds to a triumphant conclusion.

…Thunderstorms, those heralds of Spring, roar,
casting their dark mantle over heaven,
Then they die away to silence,
and the birds take up their charming songs once more.

On the flower-strewn meadow, with leafy branches
rustling overhead, the goat-herd sleeps,
his faithful dog beside him.

…Led by the festive sound of rustic bagpipes,
nymphs and shepherds lightly dance
beneath spring’s beautiful canopy.
