Program Notes
A harmonic orchestra, a living source of inspiration with eloquent possibilities, has always inspired the composer. The Concerto pour Grand Orchestre d'Harmonie is a work of instrumental virtuosity. Both solo and concerted instruments lead up to and end the work with strength, power and force.
This work was written in three movements. Lyrique is a movement of sonorous volumes where all the instruments are concerting by orchestral masses. Expressif is a movement of solos which are bound by the thematic form; and Obstiné full of virtuosity in which the instruments are concerting by families.
