CONCERTO FOR VIOLIN AND LARGE ORCHESTRA – MANUEL PONCÉ
The American Symphony Orchestra programmed the Poncé Violin Concerto with Ann Akiko Meyers to be performed in November of 2006. Peer Music, publisher of the concerto, determined that none of their available materials were complete, and worked with the ASO to jointly contract me to produce a new edition based on a copy of Poncé’s manuscript score that had been in the possession of the work’s dedicatee Henryk Szering who’d both conducted the work and played the solo part on numerous occasions. The score was covered in alterations, corrections, and later conductor’s markings, many of which had found their way into later “published” parts. Consulting with this score, with the remaining parts from Szering’s original set, and with a few recordings, a new edition was made adhering as closely as possible to the composer’s original intentions. This score and set has now been performed from both by the American Symphony Orchestra and the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra.
