Leggero
for symphonic orchestra
for symphonic orchestra
As the piece’s title suggests, ‘‘Leggero’’ is light music. Most of the discourse is sustained by the wind instruments, whereas the strings play only an accompaniment, though they might at times move to the fore. Written in spring 2003, this short score is dedicated to the musicians of the ‘‘Ensemble Orchestral de Paris’’ and their conductor, John Nelson.
