Chamber & Orchestral

Sikorski/Boosey & Hawkes | Study Score

Shostakovich originally intended this symphony to be a homage to Lenin for vocal soloists, choir and large orchestra. However, what was finally premiered in Moscow on 21 November 1939 did not meet these expectations in the slightest. The purely instrumental work opens with an expansive, introverted Largo followed by a short Scherzo and a brilliant “music hall gallop”, which Shostakovich considered the most accomplished piece of the symphony.

Chester Music | Orchestral Study Score

Kaija Saariaho’s Vista for orchestra was commissioned by Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra, Berlin Philharmonic, Oslo Philharmonic and the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association. It was partially inspired by the composer’s travels through California and the views on the road from Los Angeles to San Diego.
