2007 – 3 Movements – Duration: 18 minutes
Description: I wrote this for violist Osman Kivrak. Although each movement is named after a town in Turkey, the music itself is more of a Western tourist’s look at the sights and sounds of the country. A postcard, if you will. I’m especially proud of the second movement.
Instrumentation: 2 fl(picc), 2 ob (EH), 2 cl, bsn, 3 trp, 4 hrn, 3 trb, tba, 2 perc, timp, harp, strings, solo viola
