Movement for Orchestra was composed in Dunedin, NZ in 1985 just after having spent a period of several months in Java, Indonesia. Using variation form for its structure, it opens and closes with a slow section in 4/2 creating an arch form. It is written using a harmonic language that creates a somewhat sombre ambience.
Movement for Orchestra was given a workshop reading by the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by John Hopkins in 1987. This event was recorded by Radio New Zealand's Concert FM. | ||
