Rhapsody For All Seasons : for string orchestra / Nicholas Buc.
Library shelf no. 784.2/BUC 2 [Available for loan]
Work Overview
Rhapsody For All Seasons was conceived as an entertaining combination of the essences of Vivaldi and Piazzolla with a modern and popular twist. Written for string orchestra and featuring a virtuosic part for solo violin, the piece takes the listener on a whirlwind ride of seasonal variety. There's a dangerous tango, a sensuous film-noir passage mixed with melancholic longing, a groovy boogie-woogie, and a bluesy swing section that splits into 12 parts. And keep a look out for the foot stamps...
