  • OMP132 Richard Peter Maddox Concerto Grosso, Op. 8

    Australian composer Richard Peter Maddox (b. 1936) has produced a large output of concert and educational music. He is particularly noted for his vocal music. Concerto Grosso is a three movement work for recorder ensemble; two alto recorders are designated as concertino players, with the remainder of the group as ripieno accompaniment. The work is straightforward in musical content and well-suited for a school or amateur ensemble. Two fast outer movements frame a lyrical adagio. There are no dynamic or phrasing markings.

    I liked it the first time I played it, and I like it more upon each repetition. I enjoy the clever development of motives and especially like the final measure, which is an echo effect separated by a 5/8 measure of rest.
