Patric Standford: Orchestral Works

Category:

Description

“The three orchestral pieces here are representative of a highly productive creative period in my life. It was also one in which I can barely remember having had enough time to compose, for we ha d three children and I maintained a full programme of teaching at the Guildhall School (I had been invited to jo in the staff in 1967) in addition to travelling regularly during the 1970s as a member of international juries in choral competitions in Hungary, France and Estonia – with commitments even further afield in Venezuela and New Zealand.

“It is therefore far less of a surprise to me than to others that I have now spent much of the last decade revising pieces which I consider worth keeping from this frenzied period. New works still flow, though perhaps more slowly!”
