Orchestra SKU: PO.UME19S
Composed by Anthony Ritchie. Perfect. Full score. Promethean Editions #UME19S. Published by Promethean Editions (PO.UME19S). ISBN 9781877564802.
Symphony No.5 (Childhood) marks somewhat of an evolution in Ritchie's writing, as he further embraces the minimalist techniques that have influenced his previous work. Beautiful, expressive solo passages emerge, particularly for oboe, while elsewhere the orchestra becomes swirling and thunderous as if mimicking the chaotic action of a packed playground, creating an affecting portrait of this magical first stage of life.
