Concerto Grosso Nuovo
A concerto literally means, “little ensemble” in which musical material is passed between a small group of soloists and/or full symphony. The musical form was developed in the late seventh century. Nuovo (new) concerto grosso’s enjoyed a resurgence in the 20th century inspiring composers Stravinsky, Bloch, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Villa-Lobos, Phillip Glass and many others. This sculpture was inspired by the many amazing compositions created by ‘nouvo’ 19th century artists. What composition would this instrument have inspired?
