Child's Play is a three
movement symphonic work in which I dedicated
each movement to one of my own three children.
I. The Weeping Willow
II. The Sly Fox
III. The River Dance
The duration of the work is about 10 minutes and the instrumentation
is 2222/4331/4perc/timp/celesta/strings.
The work was premiered by the Akron Youth Symphony (Eric Benjamin,
musical
director) on Sunday, Nov 5, 2000 at the Edwin J. Thomas performing arts
hall in Akron, Ohio and was subsequently performed by the Akron
Symphony Orchestra at a series of children's concerts in November of
2001.
