Fog (Orchestra version) (2021)
- Chester Music Ltd (World)
Fog is a fantasy around the Bach E major Prelude from Partita in E. The composer suggests that a solo violinist plays the Bach prelude from elsewhere in the auditorium (such as the back of the hall), and then goes attacca into Fog. This is how the composer performs the piece although it's not conditional and adds 5 minutes to the total duration.

Programme Note
Fog is a 90th birthday tribute to Frank Gehry. It is a fantasy around the Bach E major Prelude from Partita in E, which was the first piece of music Frank and I heard in the Walt Disney Concert Hall while it was still under construction. Much of the of the harmony is based on Frank’s name: F A G E H (B natural in English).
