AFTERSONG

"These were performances for connoisseurs.  So was the British premiere of Sebastian Currier’s “Aftersong.”  If all his pieces are as emotionally charged and ingenious in their use of rethought tonality as this, give me more."

-London Times

Written for and commissioned by violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter. Premiered in Schleswig-Holstein in July 1994. In two movements played without pause, the first relentlessly active, the second distant and calm. After an excited dance a quiet song.
