Concerto for Double String Orchestra
The Concerto for Double String Orchestra is one of Michael Tippett’s earliest acknowledged works, the first fruits of his long study of sixteenth-century English madrigals and Bach fugues, and like all his early music it celebrates contrapuntal virtuosity. Its rhythmic exuberance also comes out of his response to jazz and the balletic music of Stravinsky and Bartok, and much of the energy of the Double Concerto comes from its exciting play with additive rhythms. Beethoven is behind the structure of the work, the blues inflects much of its harmony – all the essential Tippett characteristics are there already, and its joyful, melodic vitality is infectious and disarming.

Description
This is one of the great English works for string orchestra, in direct line with those by Elgar, Vaughan Williams and Britten, but also Bartók and Stravinsky. Tippett uses folk songs and Elizabethan dance rhythms to create a joyous and jazzy score in three movements which shows off the radiant sound of a string orchestra. At the heart of the work is a beautiful slow movement featuring a Welsh folk song played first by the solo violin.
