In the
words of the composer
Insomnia was written
between March and
November 2002.
Technically speaking, it
is a set of variations
based on a harmonic model
separated by a
Ritornello-like section,
which is essentially a
pedal point on the note
e. The sound of Insomnia
is darker and deeper than
that of some of my other
orchestral works. I
decided to add a quartet
of Wagner Tubas to the
brass section for the
very particular sonority
only these rare and weird
instruments can
produce..
