An icicle of moon

Holt, S. (2014) An icicle of moon. [Composition]

Abstract

For orchestra, duration 6.5 minutes. This work was premiered on 31 October 2014 by the Bamberger Symphoniker, conducted by Karl-Heinz Steffens, at the Joseph-Keilberth-Saal, Bamberg. "The title 'an icicle of moon' is a phrase from the great poem of Garcia Lorca, Romance Somnámbulo: ‘Un carámbano de luna la sostiene sobre el agua’ (An icicle of moon suspends her above the water). Scored for a small, essentially classical orchestra, the piece lasts about 6½ minutes." © Simon Holt. Score dedicated "to Harry Birtwistle at 80."
