Work & Edition Details
Constellation by Minas Borboudakis is a 14-minute work for orchestra (4 Horns in F, Timpani, 3 Percussion, Strings – Sampler). "The first version of Constellation for octet was written in 2002 when Gidon Kremer asked me to write a new piece for the sextet of the Kremerata Baltica during a series of performances of my works in his festival in Lockenhaus", says the composer. In the version for orchestra, glissandi spread out from a single note phrase by phrase. The four horns, placed stereophonically in pairs to the right and left of the conductor, create explosions of sound through repetitive lines and motivic escapades.
The premiere took place on 7 January 2011 at the Tonhalle Zurich by the Tonhalle-Orchester Zurich under the baton of Constantinos Carydis.
The score (EP 12575) is available for sale as part of the Peters Contemporary Library. The performance material can be hired.
