Note from
the composer: For a
number of years I had
been thinking of writing
a piece based on the
sound of plucked
Instruments like the
mandolin, guitar and
harp, so when the Dutch
Nieuw Ensemble asked me
for a piece I realised
that this group had
excellent players of
these three Instruments
to which I added trumpet,
trombone and vibraphone
and composed a
one-movement Fantasy
whose Dutch titles was
chosen by the ensemble
(meaning moods). The
score opens with a fast
movement that presents
each Instrument in brief
solos between moments for
the entire group. This is
followed by a slow
movement during which the
mandolin picks out a line
of short notes. A guitar
solo accompanied by the
group follows and the
work concludes with a
coda for the sextet. The
music was composed during
the early summer of 1997
in Southbury,
Connecticut. - Elliott
