Program Notes

I called this work Chamber Concerto because it is intended as a kind of "Concerto for Orchestra" for six instruments. This is meant to be distinguished from a "Concerto Grosso" because my work has much less in common with a Baroque esthetic than it does with the Classical/ Romantic/ Modem world.

Formally, Chamber Concerto is a hybrid of a five-movement work (Fast - Slow - Scherzo/ Trio - Slow - Fast), a Rondo (ABACABA with a coda), and an arch form. Its five "movements" are played without pauses between them, and each is framed with a version of the opening melody (a kind of idÄe fixe which functions also as a ritornello). At the beginning it is a soaring cello tune, and at the close of the opening section, there is a dialogue between piano and marimba.  At the close of the second section,  it is delicately fragmented and gently passed among the instruments, but in the 'Trio" of the Scherzo it occurs sarcastically and brusquely in the highest registers Then at the reprise, it is soaring again, now in multiple octaves; and finally in the coda it is (mostly) a gentle flute melody (here for the first time the tune is altered, by being presented in retrograde). --David Froom
