Today marked the completion of a project that I began two years ago. I was asked to create a sinfonietta orchestration of Remembering Child, as well as transcribe the viola part for cello. When I finished the cello part, the money dried up and the project was put on hold.
For a performance here at Syracuse, I put together a hybrid version with single winds, but the original multiple strings, which we performed with Jakob Kullberg last March. I thought it worked really well.
Recently, I was asked to start it up again, and today I sent them the first proof of the fully sinfonietta-ized version. Hopefully, it will get Per Nørgård's stamp of approval, so we can unleash it on the public soon.
Stay tuned...
