This is an older work of mine, which I've been busy cleaning up and modifying. It's actually one of my most dissonant works (which isn't really saying all that much).
The Dance of Untruth, opus 24, for piano and orchestra, is basically a symphonic poem with piano obligato. It loosely follows the action of a chapter from a Stephen King novel (
The Tommyknockers), from which it gets its title.
Six continuous sections (the recording, in two parts, breaks between the 4th and 5th sections):
Molto rubato - Lento
Allegro feroce
Molto calmando
Scherzando
Cadenza
Allegro furioso
The thematic material is two-fold: a tone row that generates a lot of the shorter motivic material, and a longer "lyrical" theme that relies heavily on major 7ths.
With the piano solo, there are 1 piccolo, 2 flutes, 1 oboe, cor anglais, 2 clarinets, 2 bassons, 4 horns, 3 trumpets in C, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, and strings.
I've included both the full score and the piano reduction.
There are certainly some discrepancies between the two scores, however, the orchestral score is the definitive version.
The recordings are of sections 1-4, then 5 - 6.
