Symphony no. 2

As I slowly upload everything again, I bring my largest work up-to-date, my second symphony. It is in four movements and lasts about 25 minutes.

It was composed in 2008 for the 50th anniversary of Slovene radio symphony orchestra and was selected by artistic advisors of the orchestra to be performed throughout 2008/09 season. So premiere took place on 23rd April 2009.

I adopted some formal approach which is characteristic to late-romantic symphonies - frequent use of the basic motif throughout other movements, rich and colourful orchestration, free contemporary music language which uses different techniques at the same time: tonality vs atonality, aleatorics vs clear pulsation - clear melodies vs aleatoric counterpoint. I wish you pleasant listening!

This is another work of yours I was quite fond of, as I found it quite praise-deserving. As usual, the eclectic language got the best of me, as did your rich orchestration. I remember when I first listened to it (around 2012), and I must say my first impression was quite good and hasn't changed since. Thanks for re-uploading it!

Though I tried to find commonality with other modern composers and styles to use as sign posts, I couldn't find any. The music and gestures are fresh to my ears and it was a pleasure to listen to. You must feel so fortunate to have such talented musicians play your music.
