Transitio (1994)for orchestra (2.2.2.2/2.2.0.0/1perc/pf/8.6.4.4.3)
This is a walk through the chamber music-like sound world produced by the instruments of the orchestra within a strict continuously moving sound meshwork. The strings behave soloistic for long stretches. The conductor must have a love of detail. It served as the compulsory piece for the 1995 Besançon Conducting Competition.
