About this arrangement

Orchestra (Study Score) SKU: HL.48024132 Composed by James Macmillan. Boosey & Hawkes Scores/Books. Classical. Softcover. 114 pages. Boosey & Hawkes #M060133336. Published by Boosey & Hawkes (HL.48024132). ISBN 9781784542894. UPC: 888680708924. 7.5x10.5 inches.One of MacMillan's earliest successes was his first percussion concerto, Veni, Veni, Emmanuel (1992), firmly established with hundreds of performances to date. Percussion Concerto no 2 was therefore received with great excitement at its premiere in 2014 by Colin Currie and the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic. Like its predecessor, the second concerto is formed in a single, c25-minute span, albeit with contrasting sections, but with full orchestra scoring. The significant array of solo percussion is complemented by two orchestral percussion sections; notably the soloist makes use of a recently invented instrument, the aluphone. Suitable for advanced standard performers.
