COMPLEXIONS - Four Preludes for Chamber Orchestra [FULL SCORE & PARTS]
COMPLEXIONS -Four Preludes for Chamber Orchestra was composed in 2019 for the Sydney Conservatorium of Music's Modern Music Ensemble. It presents four distinctive character pieces based on the 'Four Temperaments', a proto-psychological theory which promotes four fundamental personality types: sanguine, choleric, melancholic and phlegmatic. The Four Preludes serve to create unity and/or contrast within any program of works, with the number and order of movements selected in conjunction with character and style of the other repertoire. The complexity of each temperament and their overlapping traits is represented through this extensive exploration and manipulation of serial-influenced procedures, which articulates the connectedness and intricacy of our physical being.
