…the sun is out, the sun is out

orchestra | 1994

The title of this work for large orchestra is the last line of Boys And Girls Between The Wars, a poem by Sebastian Schloessingk I have also set to music. The original work for voice and four instruments is the starting point for ...the sun is out, the sun is out . The original instrumental gestures are projected and expanded in a vast orchestral space, and acquire a completely new dimension. This process of transcription, of reading again and translating the same material in different forms, obviously inspired by the lesson of Berio, has always fascinated me.
