Improvisation (1976)              Andre Prévost

One of Canada's most important composers, André Prévost has established an international reputation. His diversified output includes works for orchestra, soloists with orchestra, choir, as well as chamber music pieces. Prévost's Cantate pour cordes (1987) was written at the request of Yehudi Menuhin who premiered the work in Ontario.  In Improvisation, the idea of human nature is explored as the main thematic material, and is played out in various forms in an "improvisatory" manner.    Judy Kang
