Ruby Concerto for percussion and orchestra Piano - Digital Sheet Music

SKU: S9.Q6362

Ruby was commissioned for the 2003 BBC Proms and was also played by the finalist in the BBC Young Musician of the Year in 2004. It was written in close collaboration with Colin Currie, its dedicatee and original soloist, and the percussion writing is musically subtle whilst stretching the soloist's technique to the limit. 'Duddell beholds to abstract formulation and melodic instruments [...] His invention might be termed Transatlantic. Michael Tippett is a clear (and wonderful) influence in the 'cool' strands and affecting lyricism. (Colin Anderson. The Classical Source. 2003)

Ruby est une œuvre commissionnée pour les BBC Proms 2003 ; elle fut aussi interprétée par le finaliste du concours BBC Young Musician of the Year 2004”. Écrite en étroite collaboration avec Colin Currie, son dédicataire et premier soliste, la partie de percussion, musicalement subtile, repousse à l’extrême les limites techniques du soliste.
