Caricatures

de Sydney Hodkinson · Publicada por primera vez en 1969

This music won the 1967 Prince Pierre of Monaco Musical Composition Award. When performed by the Denver Symphony Orchestra in April 1968, the Rocky Mountain News reviewer said " Perhaps the most exciting new work performed was Sidny Hodkinson's Caricatures, Five Paintings for Symphony Orchestra. Here the composer used a much more extensive spectrum of sound. Wide contrasts in types of gestures, expressive modes, dynamics, textures, sonorities, densities and timbres occurred within closely juxtaposed situations. Only an extremely far-ranging creative imagination could have organized these events so effectively." Scored for: 2 flutes (2nd dbles picc). 2 oboes. 2 clarinets. 2 bassoons. 4 horns. 3 trumpets. 2 tenor trombones. bass trombone. tuba. 3 percussion. harp. strings (min. 4.4.3.2.2.)
