This dissertation is a Concerto for Orchestra in three movements, with an approximate duration of 26 minutes. The orchestra consists of 3 flutes, 2 oboes, English horn, 2 clarinets in B('(FLAT)), bass clarinet, alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, 2 bassoons, contra bassoon, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 2 trombones, bass trombone, percussion (3 players), piano, and strings. / The first and the third movements use sonata form as a point of departure. In the first movement, the "development section" as such is relatively short, compensating for the fact that there is much variation in the course of the exposition and the recapitulation. In the third movement, the recapitulation is abbreviated, its place being taken by a coda using material derived from the first two movements. The second movement is in ABA form. / The harmony throughout the composition has no tonal functions and is generally subservient to the linear movement. Though there are many tempo changes within the movements, the three movements follow a tempo plan of fast-slow-fast. The second and third movements are to be played without intervening pause. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 41-09, Section: A, page: 3774. / Thesis (D.Mus.)--The Florida State University, 1980.
