Symphonic Suite

Orchestra: 2222 1200 Timp Str
Duration: 12 minutes

The fertile ground of dance provided most of the thematic material for this composition. The style is simple, and the level of difficulty not high.

Symphonic Suite was composed in Idyllwild, California during the winter of 1991. Additional material for the revised version (still in-progress as of May 2012) was conceived in Albany, New York, and while travelling up and down the California coast one lovely summer.

Many thanks to dancers Diana MacNeil and Jean-Marie Martz of the Idyllwild Arts Academy;
my collaboration with them and with their students
continues to inspire and to bear fruit.

Symphonic Suite was supported in part by a generous grant from Meet the Composer.
