Programme Notes
This is an arrangement of a piece originally written to give a lively start to the concert given by the New Music Group of Scotland in the 1982 Edinburgh International Festival, a concert designed to have an Italian flavour. A version for chamber orchestra was first performed in October 1983 by the Scottish Chamber Orchestra in a concert celebrating the four hundredth anniversary of the University of Edinburgh, and subsequently by the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra on their West German tour in 1988. It was arranged for full symphony orchestra and performed by the Scottish National Orchestra in 1987. Bright and celebratory in character, the Intrada is based on, and eventually quotes, the
Toccata
which precedes Monteverdi's
Orfeo
