Kyle Richards 'Bridgewater Variations' is part of the Houston Symphony's Andre Fest saluting the tenure of outgoing music director Andrés Orozco-Estrada.
Rivera’s piece makes its world premiere on March 18 as part of the Houston Symphony’s Andrés Fest, a multi-weekend event celebrating the tenure of the soon departing music director Andrés Orozco-Estrada.
“A lot has changed in music history between the classical period and now. So I tried to write for the same orchestra type that he’d have written for back then. As time went on, orchestras got bigger and bigger. This is a smaller piece, taking that classical sound and translate it into something contemporary using some techniques we’d use in modern music. In Bridgetower’s days, the string player would just use the hair of the bow, but now they play the wood, too.
Rivera used Sergei Rachmaninoff as a point of reference for his composition, particularly that Russian composer’s “The Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini.”
