Frenergy

Commissioned by the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra in 1998, this dynamic work combines 'frantic' and 'energy' to form the title, speaking volumes to the nature and verve of the character of the music. Following a heart-pounding opening, this brisk piece is comprised of four short melodic ideas tossed from section to section. Enjoying acclaim and prominent performances in the symphonic arena, this work is authentically transcribed by Fraser Linklater and is certain to become an important addition to the repertoire for winds.
