My Concerto
for Orchestra (2007) is a
twenty-minute work in
which different sections
of the orchestra, as well
as individual solos and
duos from within the
orchestra, are
highlighted as the music
unfolds. The work
continues my interest in
two-movement forms that
began with my Cello
Concerto (1991), and was
later developed in
Sortilege (1996) and
Symphony (Broken Consort)
(2004). In these works,
and in the Concerto for
Orchestra, each movement
is given equal weight and
importance with the
second developing earlier
material and taking it in
new directions.The
two-movement form of the
Concerto for Orchestra
derives from a symphonic
sonata structure,
reshaping the traditional
four-movement form and
combining this with
aspects of sonata form, a
tradition that goes back
to Liszt, Schoenberg and
Sibelius:1st movement (i)
exposition of ideas -
dramatic and sudden (ii)
scherzo and development 1
- resolute2nd movement
(iii) adagio - calm and
unhurried (iv)
development 2 with
recapitulation - intense
and energeticThe Concerto
for Orchestra was
commissioned by the
Musikalische Akademie des
Nationaltheatre-Orchester
s Mannheim with the
support of Die Landesbank
Baden-Wurttemberg for its
first two performances on
31st March and 1st April
2008 conducted by
Friedemann Layer. The
score is dedicated in
friendship and admiration
to Ronald Zollman.John
