Symphony for Strings - Three Images of Java

    Minimum strs: 8,6,5,4,3
  • Programme Note

    In this three movement work for large string orchestra, the first movement is inspired by the image of a Javanese dancer accompanied by gamelan music and is reflected in the fast hocketing textures over long low bass notes analogous to the gamelan gongs. The central Adagio (for strings) is, quite unlike Barber’s famous movement, quite deliberately without climax reflecting the constantly oppressive tropical heat. The last movement is of an intense nature such as found in the pressure of population.
