Manheim
Sinfonietta (1999)(3,2 ,2 ,2; 4 ,3,3,1; timp., 3 perc.; strings)
- This three movement piece is in a neo-classic style and is
greatly influenced by characteristics of the Mannheim Orchestra
of the pre-classic period, said to be the finest during that
time. The composers of the Mannheim School wrote in a style that
took advantage of the orchestra's technical capabilities. These
include boldly contrasted dynamics, presto movements, calculated
use of crescendo and decrescendo, tremolo, and rockets (rising
arpeggiated figures). The style was also known for the use of the
Mannheim “sigh” (a half step descending figure). All of
these are incorporated into Manheim Sinfonietta. Duration: 10:00 Score
and parts $50.00
