Works

Bernstein: West Side Story: Symphonic Dances
Bonney: Chaos Theory
Koh, C S: Korean Dances
Nixon: Fiesta del Pacifico
Turina: La Procesion del Rocio, Op. 9

This programme brings the old world of festive Spain in Turina’s La Procession du Rocío into a meeting with Roger Nixon’s Californian ‘tonal fresco’ Fiesta del Pacifico. Chang Su Koh’s Korean Dances use exotic traditional rhythms, whereas Bernstein’s Symphonic dances refer to Cuban cha-cha and the Mexican mambo.

James Bonney’s Chaos Theory is a concerto for electric guitar which fuses hardrock intensity with classical sophistication. The Lone Star Wind Orchestra’s American Tapestry album (8570968) was described as ‘completely stunning.’ MusicWeb International
