Full Circle

Description

Full Circle, written in 1985 and scored for chamber orchestra, is a single movement, built as a sequence of contrasting episodes. Talma uses the instrumental colours to great effect; the line-up includes a piano, two flutes, a clarinet, some colourful percussion, and strings. Her flexible sense of rhythm creates a wonderful freshness in the music. --Diana Ambache, liner notes for Naxos recording Talma: Ambient Air/Soundshots/Full Circle, 8.559236
