The Symphonietta Doppio score was written in the late 1990s and completed in March 1999. It is scored for a large orchestra and is in one movement.
The ‘doppio’ in the title refers to the doubling and halving of basic tempos throughout. There is thus a certain formal conflict.
Otherwise the music has the ambience of an overture and would be well placed to open a concert of symphonic music.
