Program Notes
The first movement of Zaninelli's Symphony for Winds & Percussion is remarkable for its conciseness and brevity. In a very short "space in time" he creates a true sonata-allegro movement. The language is pure Zaninelli -- restless, tender, mysterious, muscular, gentle, and at all times captivating.
The second movement is a theme and variations. It begins with a theme presented by the solo flute. Three variations ensue -- a sexy tango, a sensuous blues, and a rousing barn dance. There is a genuine purity to Zaninelli's feel for these diverse dance forms. One senses that he has an intimate knowledge of these idioms.
