All The Things You Are

Concerto for Four was written for the Hartford Independent Chamber Orchestra (HICO) during 2016-17.  The idea of the concerto grosso came about through discussions with HICO’s conductor Dan D’Addio, who suggested the four soloists:  flute, oboe (doubling English Horn), French horn, and double bass.  The Concerto features each of these instruments in turn, throughout the works seven movements, which are played continuously.  After a short Introduction, there is the Canzona for English Horn, followed by Flute Bebop.  An Interlude features all of the soloists, and consists mainly of the extended techniques and effects found throughout the work.  A Nocturne for Bass is followed by the Solo for Horn, which leads to the rousing Coda.  Each of the solo sections contain unaccompanied cadenzas that exploit the multifarious timbres of each instrument.  

The Concerto is dedicated to Dan D’Addio, Daniel Morel, and HICO, and bears the inscription “in memoriam Pierre Boulez”, who died in early 2016.
