Program Notes
Little Concerto is a short excursion of technical delight and musical wit. Meter alternations of 6/8 and8/8 provide interest, variety and life to this brilliant gem for the symphonic wind ensemble. Interesting soloistic flurries are supported by tasteful 4-Part percussion writing. Inventive canonic interplay provides direction and development of clear melodic ideas. Elements of chromaticism provide motion and emotion. Little Concerto is a composite work filled with kaleidoscopic changes of motion and meter, making it a most worthy tour de force.
