  • Thursday, April 15, 2021 at 7:30pm GMT / 3:30pm EST Program: Caplet – Suite Persane (16') Clyne – Overflow (SCO commission, World Premiere) (10’) Dvořák (arr. Sheen) – Czech Suite (23’) The Scottish Chamber Orchestra (SCO) presents the world premiere of SCO Associate Composer Anna Clyne’s Overflow. Filmed at Perth Concert Hall, the concert will be broadcast via SCO’s YouTube and Facebook channels for free and also features the Suite Persane by French composer André Caplet and a wind arrangement of Dvořák's Czech Suite. A 10 minute long work for wind dectet, Clyne’s Overflow is inspired by Emily Dickinson’s poem, By The Sea, in which we experience the ocean’s power over the poet’s imagination – both alluring, unsettling and dangerous. The luminous, fragrant Persian Suite by French composer André Caplet mixes the voluptuous luxuriance of Debussy with the heady perfumes of the Middle East, from the rapturous intensity of its opening love song to the extrovert drama of its finale. Nearer to home, Dvořák journeys through the Bohemian countryside in his charming Czech Suite, here given a more rustic flavour in an arrangement for winds.
