AUGUSTA READ THOMAS - MAGIC BOX

Nimbus Music Publishing is releasing a 66-page Saddle Stitched Score for String Quartet or String Orchestra and Percussion Quartet: Magic Box, composed by Augusta Read Thomas'I am humbled by this opportunity to compose an octetto celebrate the opening of the Tanglewood Centre for Music and Learning. The title MAGIC BOX hopefully captures the lively spirit, exquisite creativity, motion, enchantment and positive energy of the Center. I think of myself, and have been described as, a poet-composer. I sculpt my music akin to how poets create, refine, and polish their poems.' Augusta Read Thomas
