Chamber Concerto

My music is influenced by all kinds of polyphonic writing - meaning both vocal and instrumental varieties. Recently I have become interested in the ways in which musical forms based on rhythmic processes can enable layering to emerge, so that harmonies and textures coexist rather than resolve. Chamber Concerto , scored for seven players (Flute, Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Horn, Piano, Violin, Cello) works with this idea in a piece conceived for the virtuoso musicians of The New Music Players. The work is in four movements. - Ed Hughes Chamber Concerto was first performed by The New Music Players, conducted by Patrick Bailey, Kings Place, London, Out Hear Series, 27September 2010.
