  • Description

    Nimbus Music Publishing is releasing a 90-page wire bound study score of sheet music for a piece for Orchestra composed by Augusta Read Thomas with an approximate runtime of 13 minutes.
    BBC Radio 3 commissioned Dance Foldings for Orchestra on the Royal Albert Halls 150th anniversary in celebration of diversity and the mission statement. The prompt was to reflect the arts and sciences as they are now. Composers were free to choose their own subject, so long as there was a clear link to the sciences or other art forms. The musical materials of Dance Foldings for orchestra, takes inspiration for its metaphors, pairings, counterpoints, foldings, forms and images from the idea of the biological 'ballet' of proteins being assembled and folded in our bodies.
