        Programme Note

        This concerto for two violins with string orchestra is in three movements.

        I. Fantasia

        II. Canzona

        III. Dithyramb: Danza di Brunswick

         

         

        The Concerto is in the traditional three sections. The Fantasia is the most developed movement: contrasting ideas unfold in different tempo relationships, including accompanied cadenzas with free and fixed elements. The Canzona is just that—a song and the Danza revels in the joy of irregular meters common to Greek and Turkish music—just the sort of thing you might hear when walking the the dog in Brunswick on Friday night. Enjoy.
