The Violin Concerto, written in 1928, is one of Egk's most significant instrumental works. It is indicative of the contemporary climate of innovation as reflected in the development of new genres for chamber orchestra, ensembles and soloists, as for example in Hindemith's chamber music pieces, Weill's Concerto for Violin and Woodwind, Berg's Chamber Concerto, and the Concerto and Capriccio by Stravinsky. The chamber orchestra with 16 players was considered a type of instrumentation appropriately contemporary for variety of uses and was frequently referred to in contemporary literature and discussions on Neo-classicism, Neue Sachlichkeit, functional music, music for radio, etc.

My music is influenced by all kinds of polyphonic writing - meaning both vocal and instrumental varieties. Recently I have become interested in the ways in which musical forms based on rhythmic processes can enable layering to emerge, so that harmonies and textures coexist rather than resolve. Chamber Concerto , scored for seven players (Flute, Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Horn, Piano, Violin, Cello) works with this idea in a piece conceived for the virtuoso musicians of The New Music Players. The work is in four movements. - Ed Hughes Chamber Concerto was first performed by The New Music Players, conducted by Patrick Bailey, Kings Place, London, Out Hear Series, 27September 2010.

String Orchestra, Wind Instruments[Sextet]

Composed by Sir Peter Maxwell Davies. Music Sales America. Classical. Score. Composed 1999. 94 pages. Chester Music #CH61153. Published by Chester Music (HL.14020993).

The solo group consists of a sextet of the woodwind instruments which are normally doubled with more regular members of the orchestra: these six strangers, now brought to the fore, are piccolo and alto flute, cor anglais, Eb and bass clarinets and contrabassoon. They make a motley group, diverse in colour as in register, and one of the tasks of the piece sets itself is to have them blend and cohere, both together as an ensemble and in partnership with the string orchestra (which itself is used with unusual variety and subtlety). Another evident task of the work is to provide fine solos for each member of the woodwind sextet: bright dances for the piccolo, recitatives for the alto flute, a stoical song from the contrabassoon in the extreme bass. The work is cast as a single movement, which begins in the composer's first-movement style of rapid regeneration. This is interrupted by slow interventions, including one for divided strings which gives rise to a sextuple cadenza for the soloists. Out of this comes a slow movement, or sequence of short slow movements, followed by a dancing finale with its own slow episodes. Altogether this is music of songs and dances, heavily tinged with Scottish rhythms and tonalities: one might think of a magic bagpipe, having six chanters and a drone of variegated string texture. This work for woodwind instruments and string orchestra was commissioned by the Strathclyde Regional Council and the Scottish Chamber Orchestra. It is the ninth of ten concerti to be written for principal players of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra. The first performance was given in February 1995 by the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, conducted by the composer.

This concerto is one continuous movement that is clearly divided into 3 main sections. The first movement is moderately fast and rhapsodic in charachter followed by a second section with an accompanied cadenza in the middle, the final movement is a fast-paced, energetic crescendo that leads to the climax of the work at the end. The solo part is a long and endlessly varied narrative that embraces the whole technical vocabulary of the cello available to both composer and soloist, with the harmonic aura being established by the orchestra from the beginning. The orchestra provides a platform of chords based on major and minor thirds which are the building blocks for the entire concerto both for soloist and orchestra. The harmonic scenery created by the orchestra is very much at the service of the soloist, always seeking to support and highlight the poetic and dramatic content of the solo part as well as providing a transparent and clear harmonic framework. The accompaniment for the piece is dense, at times polyphonic and sometimes multi-layered but only towards the very end is the orchestra allowed to dominate, in the final climax of the work. Commissioned by William Conway. First performed with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra in 1995
