Original

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.

El grup en solitari consisteix en un sextet dels instruments de vent de fusta que normalment es va duplicar amb més membres regulars de l'orquestra. these six strangers, now brought to the fore, are piccolo and alto flute, cor anglais, Eb and bass clarinets and contrabassoon. Ells fan un variat grup, diversos en color com en el registre, i una de les tasques de la peça fixa en si és fer que es barregen i coherents, tant en conjunt com un conjunt i en associació amb l'orquestra de cordes. que al seu torn s'utilitza amb inusual varietat i subtilesa. Una altra tasca evident de l'obra és proporcionar sols fins per cada membre del sextet de vent de fusta. danses brillants per al flautí, recitatius per la flauta alt, una cançó estoica del contrabassoon en el baix extrema. L'obra es presenta com un sol moviment, que s'inicia en l'estil del primer moviment del compositor de la regeneració ràpida. Aquest és interrompuda per intervencions lentes, incloent un per a les cadenes dividides que dóna lloc a una cadència sèxtuple per als solistes. Fora d'això ve un moviment lent, o seqüència de moviments lents curts, seguit per un final de ball amb els seus propis episodis lents. En total es tracta de música de cançons i balls, fortament tenyit de ritmes i tonalitats escoceses. un podria pensar en una gaita màgia, que té sis cantaires i un avió no tripulat de bigarrada textura cadena. 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.
