Published by Brixton Publications (B7.B210). 8.5x11 inches.Peter Rothbart was written while he was intensively studying 16th century motets. Intrigued by the contrapuntal nature of the genre with its simultaneous interconnectedness and independence of the lines, the composer wrote the first movement, alla Stile Antico, with this in mind. The second movement, alla Stravinsky, was influenced by Rothbart's long-time fascination with Igor Stravinsky's neo-classical works. In particular, he was inspired by Stravinsky's extraordinary sense of balanced form, combined with modern rhythms and melodies. The 2 movements complement one another beautifully. This work is a brilliant concert feature as well as an impressive contest piece.
