Chamber Symphony No. 2 for Nine Winds and Strings
Douglas Townsend
About this work:
Unperformed. An experimental work, the piece is chromatic and moderately difficult.
Four uniquely constructed movements without any breaks: the first movement is
exposition of a work in sonata form; the second movement is the equivalent of the
beginning of the development section of a work in sonata form; the third movement
is a scherzo, which is also the equivalent of the development section of a work in
sonata form; the fourth movement is the equivalent of a recapitulation of a work in
sonata form.
