| Additional Information |
Written for Duo Parnas, this piece is an elaboration with orchestra of 'Sigol' for Two (2008), a duo commissioned by Duo Parnas and recorded by them on their Sheffield Lab CD "Gare du Nord." It consists of a series of contiguos variations on the lyrical theme stated at the very beginning, intended as an imagined portrait of the composer's young granddaughter Sigol, starting rhapsodically and ending with a little dance. The seven parts of Fantasia Concertante consist of the theme, a scherzando, a nervous fantasy, an aria which paraphrases the theme, a quixotic drama, a lullaby, and a varied reprise of the scherzo.
The relationship of the solo duo to the orchestra is one of collaboration raher than confrontation; the orchestra not only provides congenial settings for the soloists but maintains its own character as well.
