Year: 2001 | Type: Twenty-movement work for chamber orchestra | Duration: ca. 50'
In 2001, the same acting company that commissioned me to write the music for The Crucible, asked me to write the music for an adaptation of Robert Grave's I, Claudius. It wasn't a high-budget production and no one made a dime (not even me), but it involved a huge cast, mostly amateurs, and was performed in one of the largest theaters in Lima. I was very pleased with the result at the time, but have since become very critical of the music. However, what's done is done, and I have to include this piece in my catalog, if only for the fact that I was able to write almost 50 minutes of music, a great feat for an amateur composer, in my humble opinion.
Notes:
This music was performed live at each of the performances of the play, which took place in November 2000 at the Felipe Pardo y Aliaga Theater, Lima, Peru.
This work was written before my formative years as a composer, and I believe it lacks the necessary quality for publication. Therefore, it will remain in my catalog, but I will never make it available for performance.
