about

This symphony marks a turning point, reflecting a significant change in my life in 1996 and reflected in this happier, more consonant music. It opens with an ostinato, much like the opening of the 1st Symphony but now supporting a triumphant, energy-filled A major chord. Brightness, life and light! A questioning and restless ‘second subject’, a chorale variant of the same interrupts before the eventual return of the opening which gives a victorious conclusion. A somewhat Brahmsian scherzo follows, then an elegiac 3rd movement building towards a significant climax just before the end. Another ostinato texture and a broad theme, first given to the horn, open the finale. Momentum and intensity increase step by step, with gathering chords preceding each new phase.

Buschdorf, Luxembourg, 1996

Dedicated to Ulrike Wiedenbach and the Spring of 1996
