Zodiac Trio (Score & parts)
Beschrijving
This work was commissioned (in association with the Welsh Arts Council) by the Vale of Glamorgan Festival, where it was first performed by the Robles Trio - Christopher Hyde-Smith (flute), Frederick Riddle (viola), and Marisa Robles (harp) - on 19 August 1976.
The title derives from the fact that it was composed for and dedicated to three personal friends, each of whom was born under a different sign of the Zodiac.
An introductory Moderato leads directly into three distinctive movements: Pisces (Allegro vivo), Aries (Andante), and Taurus (Allegro alla danza).
