Slow Movement

This was commissioned by the Lautten Compagney, Berlin, to serve as the 'missing' slow movement for Bach's third Brandenburg Concerto.

It is intended to be performed alongside my Chamber Concerto for saxophone quartet and string orchestra, as part of performance of Brandenburg Three. Both works may be performed on period instruments, but at A=440.

The scoring is for 3 violins, 3 violas, 3 cellos and bass, with lute, theorbo and harpsichord.

It was first performed in Dornbirn, Austria in 2010, by the Raschèr Saxophone Quartet, with Lautten Compagney directed by Wolfgang Katschner.
