Description
I have written this concerto because I wanted to write a violin concerto, and one that allows the solo violin to be a violin, which for me is a lyrical poetic instrument capable of much to say beyond its small dimensions. It is based upon some thematic material that I first used in my first orchestral essay - Points of Decision - which was the first of the trilogy of pieces centred around the work of the poet John Clare, but it also uses a second contrasting motif which allows the piece to develop a musical narrative. This evolves from the opening solo section to andante, adagio, and allegro variants giving the piece a sense of movement in a classical sense. Dispersed between these main sections are small accompanied cadenzas where the instrument can show its varied capabilities. The orchestra has been deliberately chosen not to overwhelm the soloist, and the orchestration similarly worked so that it is always heard in the argument, although the final section allows both solo and orchestra to combine in climactic tuttis.
