for trumpet and stringsThe string orchestra is treated on three levels, in a manner similar to that in Vaughan Williams's Tallis Fantasia, where a solo quartet is contrasted with a chamber orcehstra and a full symphonic complement of strings.
Gordon Crosse (b.1937)
"The complex, many-layered instrumentation is highly thematic, full of fascinating and unusual combinations, imitations and allusions, bearing strongly Crosse's own distinctive trademark." - Hugo Cole, The Guardian
