about

CHILDREN’S CONCERTS
By Leopoldine Apontes-Morana
------------------------------------------------------------
This collection emanates from my aborted attempt
to integrate two great bureaucratic establishments:
The New York Philharmonic and New York City
Board of Education. The idea was that first-placed
instrumentalists competitively drawn for the yearly
All-City Youth Orchestras would win an opportunity
to play with the pros, and that a small visiting ensemble
of perhaps 25-30 players from the Philharmonic would
rehearse and perform a mini-concerto with each of the
first-placed winners, thereby engaging community interest
and providing able youngsters with a lively encouragement.
~
My work is fashioned such that each student performer
gains the opportunity to display, within a concise pair
of pieces, outstanding expression, ability, and technique.
There is a two-movement mini-concerto for each major
instrument of the orchestra — (WINDS:) Flute, Oboe,
Clarinet, Bassoon. (BRASS:) Trumpet, Horn, Trombone,
Tuba. (STRINGS:) Violin, Viola, Cello, Bass. The
soloists in each instance are joined by orchestral strings
(Vn I, Vn II, Vla, Vc, Cb) which can number as many
or as few players-per-part as may be available. The
professional ensemble need not require a conductor,
though I am willing to fulfill that role if called upon.
