Program Notes

The work was commissioned by the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra. Financial assistance for the commission was provided by the Canada Council. The Rockefeller Foundation provided the generous support of a one-month residency at the Bellagio Center in Italy, which provided me with extensive and dedicated time to work in a stunning environment. This assistance is gratefully acknowledged.

The world premiere of movements II and III took place in Belgrade on May 20, 2005. Michael Matthews conducted the Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra with soloist Paul Marleyn.
