| Description | Japanese gagaku court music and medieval plainsong and organum are this symphony's principal sources of inspiration. My aim was to create a symphonic structure of modest scale with the same kind of dramatic, rhetorical quality of some of the polystylistic works of Arvo Pärt and Alfred Schnittke. World premiere 10/3/1995 St John’s Smith Square, London: City University Symphony Orchestra/Matthew Rowe. Commissioned by Denis Smalley for City University Symphony Orchestra. Performing materials produced with support from the Holst Foundation. |
