| Program Notes | Sinfonia di Festa ("Overture of Celebration") was commissioned by the Plymouth Symphony to commemorate the 50th season of the orchestra, 1995-96. The work is composed for a large orchestra including piccolo, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, English horn, 2 clarinets, bass clarinet, 2 bassoons, contra bassoon, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, 3 percussion, harp, and strings. Intended to capture the spirit of a celebration, Sinfonia opens with the full orchestra playing a fanfare-like theme. Gradually, the piece journeys through several melodic passages, including solos for many instruments. The melodies are interspersed with sharp attacking motifs in the brass and woodwind section, eventually returning to the fanfare gesture that opens the piece. The final section is based on ideas previously introduced, gradually building to a dramatic close. Sinfonia di Festa was composed between the months of November 1995 - February 1996, and received its premiere on concerts by the Plymouth Symphony May 16 and 17,1996. --James Lentini |
