SYMPHONY No. 1
(1976)
Orchestra It's not without its attractive features, I think, especially with the two alto saxophones coloring the score in an interesting way. There is a motif derived from Machaut's chanson "De petit po" and the second movement opens with a Machaut-style ballade of my own devising. The piccolo trumpet part is a bit over-the-top, perhaps, going for a manic sort of Second Brandenburg agility and altitude.
Below is a short-score view of the opening of the symphony. HOME | LIST OF WORKS | BIO | RECORDINGS | IMAGES |
