Product details
Concertino was commissioned by Sérgio Carolino (Principal tuba,
Orquestra Sinfónica do Porto, Portugal) for premiere with the
Banda Sinfónica Portuguesa, under the artistic direction of
Francisco Ferreira. Sérgio Carolino is an extremely diverse and
inquisitive performer, with forays into jazz, funk and duets with
a DJ to his credit. To take advantage of this, one of the aims of
Concertino is to give this unique performer an opportunity to
showcase a varied palette of skills within a symphonic band
setting. Andrew Batterham has often assimilated several different
musical languages into his work, and so the journey from
traditional wind band music, through funk and jazz improvisation,
to dance modern styles was an exciting one.
The piece is divided into two halves. The first is couched in a
Classical, common-chord musical language, developing traditional
material in a slow, soulful way. The second half develops the
same material, but utilising beat-oriented styles such as funk
and techno, resulting in a varied musical canvas upon which the
soloist can express themselves in spectacular fashion.
