PATRICK DOYLE ABOUT IMPRESSIONS OF
AMERICA I’ve been involved with the NSSO
for about 12 years now – I felt like I should try and involve myself,
as a patron, as much as possible. David Evans from the NSSO asked me if I
had pieces of mine that the orchestra could play, but I didn’t want to
push my own work on to them – so rather than give them a piece I’d
already written to play, I decided to write a piece for the orchestra.
I’ve travelled back
and forth to the US over the past 25 years and I thought I’d write a
piece based on my travels through parts of that incredible country.
It’s inspired by the landscape, the cities and things that made an
impression on me there. There’s a piece called ‘Pumpkin Pie’ – I’d
never had a cinnamon-based pie before and I’ll never forget the first
time I smelt that in New York, it was wonderful. I’ve been to New York
in the winter and spent three years in Washington DC, so I wanted to
write about places that I’d been to and loved – it’s programme music,
really.
