Work introduction
Written in 2020 and revised in 2021 this is an ongoing series of orchestra pieces.
Here I put three compositions of mine together creating this suite.
I added interludes and intertwined the compositional elements.
Each of the movements also works on its own.
They are written for chamber orchestra to large orchestra.
In the instrument parts I put in the minimum number of players (for example 1 Flute).
More players especially in the wind section may improve the overall sound.
Movement 1 is an orchestra version of my composition 'Oberschoeneweide' (originally written for a documentary on that district of Berlin in 1993), movement 2 is an orchestra version of my composition 'Mala Dr'ole' from 1990, movement 3 the orchestra version of the 'Afrika Variationen' originally written for a tour through Africa in the 80's.
There is a version of the 'Afrika Variationen' for string quartet as well here on my UE site.
The soundlinks are demo versions from Sibelius using the VSL sound library - only to give you an idea.
What is necessary to perform this work?
Different settings from small chamber orchestra to large orchestra are possible.
No specific requirements.
