Sometimes you go back to go forward. After completing Lysistrata and the new concerto Four Angels, I spent half a year revisiting some previous (rushed, late) orchestral scores: the cantata Late Victorians, and the first drafts of the suite from Little Women and the Overture to Lysistrata. Recording details TBA: stay tuned…
