In 2002 Michael
Tilson Thomas, who'd already done me proud with the LSO (Clarissa-scena and Third Concerto for Orchestra)
and with the San
Francisco Symphony (Clarissa
Sequence and Third
Concerto for Orchestra again) requested two successive endeavours:
an orchestration of Debussy's late
masterpiece En
Blanc et Noir;
then "half a concert" with something new of my own. This
handsome proposal raised me from post-Symphony slump. The
marvellous Debussy work, known
for years inside-out as participant in its original two-piano version,
was rapidly and joyously done, opening up the follow-on, a Fourth
Concerto for Orchestra, which
took rather longer. |
