Arranged for chamber orchestra
Sibelius composed his 2nd Symphony in 1901-2, and it has long been one of his most popular works. Full of sunny optimism, dark tensions and a heroic conclusion, the piece is a powerful and personal symphonic journey. This arrangement aims to create a full orchestral picture using only the instruments in Sibelius’s score. Hearing the clarity of individual lines can reveal hidden aspects of the score, adding an intimacy in the performing and listening experience, as well as enabling this work to be performed in smaller venues without enormous financial constraints.
Instrumentation: flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, horn, trumpet, trombone, timpani, violin 1, violin 2, viola, cello, double bass (strings minimum number 2,2,2,2,1)
