Composer: Alan Taylor Title: Chamber Symphony 5 Instrumentation: Chamber Orchestra of fl, ob, cl, bsn, hn, tpt, tmb, strings, harp, marimba and percussion (1 player) Duration: 10 minutes Difficulty: Moderate Recording: Premiere by Trinity College of Music Contemporary Music Group Programme note: I wrote my first Chamber Symphony by accident - a short orchestral piece seemed to require more to be said, then more, and more, till there were four movements. While trying to make a 'symphonic' statement in modern musical language may seem perverse, I feel I have found ways of creating short dramas of sections which carry a musical and dramatic argument through the piece. This Chamber Symphony has three movements, played without a break. Availability:from Alan Taylor |
