Description :
Written for Melinda Maxwell and the Orchestra of St. John's Smith Square to commemorate the orchestra's twenty first anniversary. the happy surprise, of his Little Concert. . . beneath the graceful long lines and jig-like spurts of a solo part expressly written for Melinda Maxwell, Maw finds time and space enough to draw quite long-range implications from his basic motif of a semitone plus a major third, and to insert some of his special, densely poetic harmonies. Bayan Northcott, The Independent, 6 June 1988. Scored for Oboe solo, two Horns, two Violins, Viola, Cello and Double Bass.
