Night at The Bardavon (A)
Joseph Bertolozzi
About this work:
A Night at The Bardavon is the opening movement from "Suite Poughkeepsie," written for the Bicentennial of that city's founding as a village in 1799. The movement began life as an overture I wrote for a production of "Puss in Boots" by Community Children's Theater of Dutchess County, scored for flute, synthesizer, and piano four-hands. It is quintessential theater music and always cried out for orchestral treatment, so it was a gift to have the opportunity to transfer it to the big stage of the Bardavon where I spent many an occasion watching movies, concerts and live shows.
