About this arrangement

Orchestra SKU: PO.UME17S Composed by Anthony Ritchie. Full score. Promethean Editions #UME17S. Published by Promethean Editions (PO.UME17S). ISBN 9781877564857.Ritchie's expansive and concept-heavy Symphony No.2 sees insistent quaver and semiquaver rhythms organised into jagged patterns, with playfully syncopated rhythmic interplay. Thunderous percussion and powerful brass evoke destructive warfare, turning to optimism in celebration of human progress, while tightly twisting canonic lines, infused with metaphorical meaning, display Ritchie's mastery of counterpoint.
