Dedication(not set)
Program NotesAntifonys for Chamber Orchestra was composed in 1968. It was first performed at the Bennington Composers Conference in Bennington, Vermont with Efraim Guigui conducting the chamber orchestra. The instrumentation consists of a flute alternating with piccolo, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, horn, trumpet, trombone, timpani, percussion (glockenspiel, xylophone, vibraphone, celesta, cymbals, wood block, snare drum) and a small string orchestra.
After a sectional introduction, the principal allegro begins in "doppio movimento". Fragments of melody are tossed around. Kaleidoscopic harmonic patterns alternate or are combined with pulsating rhythms. Climax follows climax until the movement subsides with a string glissando.
